First snow on the aspens
An early storm settles over Utah spruce and the last gold aspens, cloud tearing through the timber.
Passion
From Utah’s snow-dusted spruce to cypress swamps in full autumn burn — the forest in its loudest and quietest weeks.
Golden hour in the swamp
Low sun rakes a bald-cypress swamp; the moss lights up like filament over still, tannin-dark water.
Red canopy
A ceiling of red leaves closes over the mossy trunks where they meet their own reflection.
Autumn understory
A fallen log and a scatter of stone rest beneath a blanket of orange leaves on the forest floor.
Bald cypress in autumn
Caddo Lake in its two loud weeks — moss gone silver, canopy gone to fire, and the black water holding every color twice.
Morning in the redwoods
The sun works its way down through trees older than any road, and for a moment the path gets all the light there is.

The green wave
A wave lights up emerald in the last of the sun, caught between dark rock and a burning sky.

Bryce holding the light
The sun is already gone, but the amphitheater won’t let it go — every hoodoo burns a little longer while the snow keeps to the shadows.
