The Story behind this imageDay two of hiking the Saint's Way found me up at dawn, walking a narrow, busy Cornish lane in the low clouds and morning dew. As I approached yet another blind corner, my anxiety was rising in anticipation of the next near-miss as a commuter rushed to work. Suddenly, the hedgerow opened as a gate gave access to a farm field. I slipped into the relative safety of the field just as the sun was burning through the cloud, illuminating the tractor-imprinted lines streaked across the grassy field. 

The Story behind this imageThe Superior Hiking Trail roughly parallels the shoreline of Lake Superior. In 2023, I hiked its 320 miles NOBO, traveling roughly in a North Easterly direction. Each morning, I would witness the sunrise from the trail. The temperatures were much milder early in the day, so I rose before dawn and tried to complete ten by ten, ten miles by ten O'clock.

The Story behind this imageBlue Spirit is a yoga retreat center in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The Center is on the Pacific shore. Each evening, we witnessed gorgeous sunsets as the sun dipped below the rolling Pacific swells. The Pacific swells broke on the offshore rocky reef, protecting the sandy beach and creating a safe place to jump waves and bathe.
