"While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die." - Leonardo da Vinci

Love it or hate it, you can not deny death is part of the cycle of life. Here the salmon is now becoming part of the forest and vegetation around the stream as he decomposes. While this event is repeated millions of times each year, this is my best photograph of it, and I have tried repeating it but the light, the shallow texture of the water and stones, plus of course the fall leaves color. This is an example of just seeing what is out there on a short daily walk.
