I made a short detour to Lolo Pass while driving through and spent a few laps on the road looking for a place to shoot. A grove of brightly colored vine maples finally called my name — a compact riot of reds and golds framed by dappled light.

It was one of those quiet, decisive moments where the landscape offers exactly what I needed.
