Autumn to winter
The feeling in this portrait of a newly bare tree at the Sierra's eastern edge is caputured by a Wallace Stegner quote:
“That old September feeling, left over from school days, of summer passing, vacation nearly done, obligations gathering, books and football in the air ... Another fall, another turned page: there was something of jubilee in that annual autumnal beginning, as if last year's mistakes had been wiped clean by summer.”
