Autumn's Last Gleaming

            Bench and Snow Lakes Trail, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington 

There is nothing subtle about autumn in the mountains here. Reds and yellows scream for attention as they blanket the hillsides and meadows in a riotous celebration of color, blazingly bright in the autumn sunshine. Almost as if they know that they will soon be muffled by the quiet of winter's snowfall. 

I hiked last weekend through miles of such color, on a day that was warm enough to feel like summer, yet carried that edge of urgency that speaks of a season in transition. It was a day to be fully present in that moment, to soak in every bit of that brilliant, glorious, effulgence. 

(Two days later, the snow arrived...)
