The warm glow of autumn along the North Fork Willamette River in October. A Red Alder festooned with lichen and moss, leans over the river whose flood waters gave it its very shape. Such beauty, to see the marks of three seasons in a photograph that took only a second to make. Willamette National Forest, Oregon West Cascades.
