Deer Creek Autumn Splendor

This image was captured on a misty October day on the Deer Creek Trail in Tehama County, California, USA. The trail, designated 4E15, meanders through dense woodland along the side of Deer Creek, which flows through much of Tehama before its ultimate confluence with the mighty Sacramento River. This area is quite beautiful year round but it can be very special when the big leaf maples, oaks, and other deciduous flora is in its autumn splendor.

 

I found this scene particularly striking as I stood atop a bit of a rock precipice and looked down upon the creek flowing under a fallen log, between bright golden autumn leaves, and ultimately in to the mist beyond.
