Acadia National Park in Maine is one of America’s most treasured landscapes, and in early fall, it becomes a canvas of warm reds, oranges, and yellows.

One of those moments led to this image: an old brick bridge framed by early autumn leaves along Acadia’s historic carriage roads.

Two years ago, I had the opportunity to explore the stunning landscapes of Utah on my way to California.

The sheer scale and beauty of the landscape felt like stepping into a scene from a painting. The awe-inspiring beauty that nature has to offer is a testament to the power and creativity of God.
