Sunlit rocks, warm from an autumn afternoon, slope gently toward you. Their surfaces are textured with mottled lichen—patches of pale green, lemon, and silver that climb cracks and rims like delicate embroidery. Each stone holds a small map of time: grains, tiny fissures, and the faded scars of summer rain, all intensified by backlight.
Nearby, a solitary tree wears fall as if tailored for the moment. Leaves blaze in a layered palette of amber, russet, and gold, while the far Columbia Gorge canyon wall waits for the coming of winter snows.
The scene is quiet but alive—lizards bask on the rocks in the afternoon, the wind rustles the leaves, and the smell pine and spruce is everywhere. The contrast between the cool, mineral gray of the rocks and the warm, fiery tones of the foliage emphasizes autumn’s quiet choreography: decay and color, permanence and change, held together by a the sunlight that highlights the rocks and leaves.
