This evening I was sitting in my office, clacking away on the computer, when I glanced outside and noticed the light was amazing. The sun was nearing the horizon, and it was bathing everything in a brilliant yellow-orange glow. In the grey winter months, it’s rare to see a gorgeous sunset, so…
I grabbed my camera, threw on a pair of hiking boots, and jumped in the car. I raced down the driveway (slipping a bit on the ice, whee), and headed a few miles up the highway to the Bear Dance trailhead. Hopping out of the car, I ran down the half-mile trail to the shore of the lake. I whipped out my camera and started snapping pictures.
I was not disappointed.
Also, I checked the timestamps on my photos and realized it took me ten minutes flat to go from my office to the bottom of the trail on the waterline. Not bad.
