Photographer's Statement:

The seasons change through the year just as the light changes through the day.  Seasons fade like the setting sun, and it’s important to experience it while it’s there.   My photo relates to the theme ‘Seasons of Change’ and my view of it by showing that even though it was a 100 degree,  smoky day during wildfire season in summer, I was still out experiencing nature, living my life to the fullest.
