descent



On a very memorable trip to Madison County, NC, we hiked to the top of a mountain with our friends Lee and Naomi. At the top there was a bald where cattle were pastured, offering the an almost 360 degree view of the mountains surrounding. It was a steep and invigorating climb that we did not begin until nearly dusk, but we made the top in plenty of time to take some deep breaths and enjoy the meadow before heading back down along the fencerow. The sun went down during our descent and we made the rest of the hike in the dark, but it was an evening I will never forget, full of magic and promise.
