This was the kind of scene you only notice when you slow down. The cattails were past their peak, splitting open and shedding into the breeze — a small, quiet transition most people walk right past. The texture caught the light just enough to show the season changing. I took the shot because these moments are subtle and fleeting, and because decay, softness, and renewal often sit side-by-side in a marsh if you actually take the time to look.
