The Bruneau River in Idaho flows through a deep, wild and remote desert canyon and abuts several Bureau of Land Management wilderness areas. Forty miles of the Bruneau are designated as a wild and scenic river, offering challenging whitewater, evidence of thousands of years of Native American habitation and amazing geologic history. It also looks really cool. Photo by Bureau of Land Management – Idaho. Posted on Tumblr by the US Department of the Interior, 6/7/17.

Dogwoods (Cornus florida) are often among the earliest trees to turn red—occasionally as early as August. Their summer green first changes to a dull red, but the color brightens as fall progresses.
