Sunlight shining through fall leaves feels like a special gift from God to me.
I was visiting the mountains with my parents last weekend. I needed a break from the sterile, cold indoors of the anatomy lab and the lecture hall. I needed sunlight like a hawk needs to soar.
I told my parents that I was going to spend Saturday night sleeping in the backyard in the tent. They laughed at me and didn't believe me, because it gets cold at night and I'm not one to make myself unnecessarily uncomfortable. But I managed to make it through the night, mainly because my sleeping bag is fantastic and I got nice and toasty by my campfire. Didn't get a great night's rest, but I was too stubborn to come inside and it was nice listening to the wind in the trees and the owls.
I woke up early to bake brownies, make coffee and take pictures. This is the view from our porch.
We drove to Brasstown Bald, the tallest mountain in Georgia, and hiked the last half mile to the observation deck.
Time spent in nature makes me feel whole again, when all seems tired and old and broken.
My parents needed a break, too I think.
