I meant to set the alarm, but forgot. I woke up 15 minutes before I was supposed to meet my friend. I jumped out of bed, panicking. Luckily I had set out all my workout clothes, but it was amazing that I was even able to put my contacts in, because my eyes were barely open and I felt completely unco-ordinated. I rushed out the door without even a sip of coffee, even though inside I was saying to myself, "How can I function without my morning coffee? How? It's not that I can't, it's that I don't WANT to! I love my coffee!" I ignored that voice and kept going. (I ignore voices all the time; am I the only one?)
It's hard to begin, but once you're outside in the cool morning air and the early sun, it's all worth it.
These pictures were taken along the trail and then at Sherman Falls. I was struck by how smooth the rock had been worn under the waterfall, as the rocks beside the falls are completely craggy and uneven. It's amazing that water can affect rock like that. I love the picture of the roots. There's something about roots growing around rock that is beautiful. I also love the design in the algae on top of the pond. I think forests are at their best in the mornings.
