River of Aspen
This photograph speaks to me on a number of levels…
Obviously, it was shot in the autumn. I easily identify with the season as I am also in the autumn of my life.
I love the golden foliage on the trees. Gold suggests wealth and beauty. While I may not be rich, and my good looks may be fading, I feel wealthy for the life I have lived, and for the future years to come.
And then there is the way the aspen wander down the hillside. Their path suggests my own wanderings. They search for water in the soil. I search for the beauty in the world.
Captured in October of 2018, from the side of BC highway 97c, just south of Merritt.
