“I cannot endure to
waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house. So I
have spent almost all the daylight hours in the open air.” ~Nathaniel Hawthorne
Wow. What a
fall! First the aspens at peak color onthe Kaibab Plateau, then Maine and New York, and now the eclectic leaf litter
of the Sierra Ancha Mountains in Arizona.
Words are difficult, and I fear that I don’t have
the literary skill to bring the experience to you without crossing into the
ridiculous.
“There
is a perennial temptation to plunge into a purple sea of adjectives about
October.” ~Hal Borland
I do, however, have images.

This place has surprised me before, and I have a
soft spot for it because my first image published in an Arizona Highways
calendar was taken here. Add to that the
dearth of people, perennial stream, and astonishing carpet of leaves decorating
the remarkable geology, and it’s no wonder that I keep coming back.

The Sierra Anchas are intriguing in other seasons but just
blow me away in the fall. Workman Creek
and Reynolds Creek are my favorites so far, though I can’t help but think that
there are undiscovered treasures in other canyons.
More images from this trip are toward the end of the
Autumn 2013 Gallery on the website.
