Time of Falling Leaves

Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

Limited Edition of 2500 | Artist Proof 250

The experience of the natural world is often identified with losing oneself to its beauty and mysteries. Here, in a dense grove of aspens, that notion turns to the literal as thousands of eyes etched in the trunks gaze back at the viewer. There is no trail in this forest, and a thick undergrowth of willows camouflage the paths of animals that relish the protection of this place: elk cows with their calves, yearling moose, coyote pairs, and the occasional cougar with her cubs, searching for a den site to keep her young safe.
