We took a trip to the mountains. Swept away by the beauty and magic the fall wind brings, I made a photo album.
I. September 29
12,569 feet up, this is our view. I see the heavens from here and its peaceful.
Willow, who nearly threw herself into airport traffic coming to see us.
Driving. Theres a lot of this.
Pretty Place, NC:
Where you get to stand on top of a mountain-
iust you, the trees, wind, and beauty. I prayed a lot while we were here- I repeated the Prayer of Peace & Equality over and over on a loop. I wonder if it worked.
My freckles drove me crazy, and my lips were purple and chapped. It was horrible- I forgot my chapstick.
At base camp, aka "Grannie Annie's" house: Willow walking around knocking everything over.
Downtown Brevard: They have the coolest shops and cutest clothes- if you had a spare $500.
Grannie Annie's Neighborhood: On a walk by myself... I got lost.
II. September 30
Grannie Annie's House: Morning.
Brevard Forest: Theres a large part of me thats thankful theres no cell sevice in the forest- the distractions and temptations of social media are non-existant. Except for when you get lost and can't call for help.
My sister became a professional photographer and hiker over the course of a day- stopping to look at leaves and take pictures of the dirt. It was annoying, yet somehow comforting to see a child appriciate nature as much as she did.
Post-Hiking: Going home.
III. October 1 (Happy Spooktober)
DuPont Forest, Sc: Professional Hiker and Photographer makes a comeback.
Willow came along for this hike. She loved it.
I stranded myself on a rock to get a picture of the bridge. OOppss.
10000x time stopping so she could take a picture.
This is when everybody started to regret hiking up the mountain.
I was so confused by the barriors- people walked right past them. #0FucksGiven.
I wanted to take a nap on the rock I was sitting on and let the mist hit my face. My legs were Jell-O at this point.
The Canteen, SC: Perfect place to grab beer, and only beer- thats the only thing they sell- after a hike. Dog-Friendly though...
IV. October 2
St. Petursburg, FL: We took the stairs off the plane and I felt like royalty. But also sad, because it was warm and didn't feel like Autumn at all.
These pictures were taken with an iPhone 6s.
