A Tree Through the Seasons (ecosystem)

When I was coming up with what I wanted my final project to be I thought about a watching a tree go through all the seasons like a montage from a movie. The ecosystem starts with spring and rain that causes the leaves to grow. It then transitions to summer and then fall. The leaves change color and fall. When the leaves fall the ground changes color and reveals a squirrel and bird in the tree who then leave the tree before winter. When it becomes winter it starts to snow and the ground changes color again. And then just like the seasons it becomes spring again.
