a lone tree on a hill. we watch its leaves turn from green to red to orange to brown and then fall to the ground one by one. Then snow falls covering the ground and coating the bare tree. It melts and soon buds form on the tree. Flowers soon appear, and eventually the leaves are green again. The cycle repeats.
