Edge of Autumn
Morning gathers slowly over Bow Lake in the Canadian Rockies. The first light touches the cliffs, spreading gold across the stone and catching in the quiet waters below. A slender stream winds through the valley, tracing a delicate path through alpine brush turned to rust and amber. Each leaf seems to hold its own ember of color, a final flare before the frost. The air is sharp and impossibly clear, scented with pine and cold earth, the kind of air that seems to still time itself.
Along the banks, the last wildflowers lean toward the light, their edges rimmed with dew. Reflections ripple faintly across the stream, carrying the warmth of the cliffs and the cool blue of the sky in the same breath. The forest waits at the valley’s edge—quiet, listening—while a faint breeze moves through the willows, bending them just enough to reveal the season’s fragile balance between endurance and release. The sound of water slipping over stone feels like language, patient and unhurried.
From this vantage, the scene feels whole: mountain above, stream below, autumn unfolding in the middle distance. There’s no single focal point, only connection—each element answering the other in tone and color. The landscape is neither wild nor tame, only at peace with its own rhythm.
Edge of Autumn is a meditation on passage—the moment when warmth turns reflective and the year exhales its last color. It captures the Rockies in quiet conversation with the light, a harmony of earth and sky that lasts only long enough to remind us how beauty lives in the act of becoming.
