Next Chapter : Fade to Grey

Red is the color of seduction.  Considering the rare red hues of autumn in the Rocky Mountains, this is especially true.  When I happen upon a flash of red in autumn, I am filled with a sense of bittersweet fascination and a twinge of sadness. Red signals the close of the autumn cycle. Soon, all that I see around me will be barren and grey. I must find a way to gratefully accept the end of autumn. Every photograph becomes a last breath. Even the slightest breeze can immediately transform the radiant tree into a monochrome symbol of wintery repose.
