sunsetting

sunset hike
Last week I stopped on the way home from a meeting up the shore to catch the setting sun atop Oberg Mountain.  I can't remember the last time I hiked alone, but it was just what I needed.

This spur of the Superior Hiking Trail winds its way through a maple forest, opening up along rocky ledges again and again revealing striking vistas.  Both up and down the shore of Lake Superior.  Out across the Sawtooth Mountains.

Experiencing the end of the day; the end of the season.  Fitting for the moment, as a project I've been working on for over two years had just come to a close without ever truly coming to fruition.  I am disappointed; and, the decision is just what I hoped for.  Walking beneath the cedars, stepping on their fallen seedpods, I was reminded that while every seed holds the potential, not all can become trees.

beautiful colors. i am in love with this season.

sarah. such a lovely post.
sorry for the disappointment. but your realization of the reality of things, says it all. (am i making sense?)

i am such a chicken. i have never hiked alone. weird for someone who so enjoys her alone time. i can only imagine how peaceful it must feel.

that last photo, *SIGH*, i almost called the travel agent!!!!

sarah, this is beautiful. absolutely beautiful - the photos, the notion of you at the top of the mountain reflecting, and the parallel you've drawn between your work and this earth. beautiful. (ps. i want to come for a hike.)

Wonderfully peaceful pictures!

I should get out and have a good, cold hike in the crisp sunshine. I'm eager to XC ski up there in February!!! (((Brrr)))

That is so beautiful. I'm sorry your project didn't reach where you were hoping.

Sarah, It has been many years since I have had the opportunity to hike alone. Just me and my dog. What a peaceful feeling it is.

I did two more Color Samplers from your photos for you. Here are the links. I think the colors are beautiful.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. The simple profundity of your observations is just what I needed to hear today.

oh wow, these photos are incredible.
