Love the tall pines and the sunlit golden grass. The dark boulders feel like silent witnesses to this beauty. The delicate yellow wildflowers on the right echo the patch of sun, and the mirror-still lake with its small tree-covered island and gentle mountains fading into the sky spell pure peace. 🥰

Another gorgeous autumn scene I’ve come across today—a sparkling river flanked by fall trees. The deeper orange hues in the foreground really draw you in. Lovely! ❤️
