forest in grayscale sky...world in half-light...balanced stones stand sentinel...over whispered secrets...turkey vultures cuts through...transparent sky...gliding over clusters of lilacs in bud...their fragrance a promise of spring....a rabbit crouches motionless...unseen...on the rock...a fawn nibbles tenderly at the spring grass...the green shoots a stark contrast to the stone's unyielding surface...life unfolds in layers...each creature etched in nature's design...survival and beauty...every moment fleeting and eternal...
