Like a tree that must fall to the ground as a seed an be covered with earth, life's transformation is not without pain and sacrifices. This tree may be pleasant to behold during fall, it can be boring during during summer, or sad during winter when it look like just a dead tree without leaves. But come spring and signs of life begin to show. It doesn't matter how many winter, spring, summer or fall, the tree knows that that somewhere along the way, life can be beautiful.

While its neighbors already started to accept the changes for the coming of the colder season, this one resists the change and stick to its own. The beauty of diversity. As if saying that resistance to change is not bad at all as long as you continue to add colors and give one moment a unique experience.

I took this photo during our weekend getaway in Hickory Flats, Davis, West Virginia when I first arrive here in the U.S. This would be my first Spring, so I was excited.

My audio rig: Sennheiser HD598 HTC One M7 FiiO E18 in DAC/AMP mode Aside from occasional RF interference (probably due to unshielded cables), this setup provides great audio quality when played with high bit rate music. HTC One is running Android KitKat 4.4.3 and doesn't need any special software to pump out audio signal to FiiO E18 in DAC/AMP mode. I am using a custom cable for the Sennheiser since the original one is too long and has a 6.3mm plug.
