Flame Upon the Water
The crisp, quiet chill of early October hangs heavy over the shoreline as a brilliant crown of autumn leaves reaches its absolute peak. Tucked away along the gentle bends of the lake, a lone American beech stands like a living torch of liquid gold, its vibrant canary-yellow canopy casting a fierce contrast against the dark, linear geometry of the surrounding hardwood forest. The early morning air is completely completely still, allowing the glassy surface of the reservoir to act as a flawless liquid canvas. Ripples fade into absolute smooth transitions, mirroring every nuance of the fiery copper oaks and amber birches that crowd the water’s edge, painting a breathtaking dual landscape where sky, forest, and water blur into a single masterpiece of seasonal transition.
