Sanctum of the Maples
Coconino N.F., Arizona

As the days of autumn begin to wane, Maple leaves of every description seem to gather in this peaceful place at the roots of three venerable matriarchs.  They seem to eddie around and engulf the riverstones in a colorful exodus, foreshadowing the snowmelt waters that will fill this wash on their march to the sea.
