Dusk and Summer

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more.

~George Gordon, Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage

This summer has added immensely to the goal of making 2008, the best year of my life. Three weeks of nomading in central america, new york city living and non profit working, family south carolina bonding, and finally this past weekend i got my up north Wisconsin woods fix.

A full moon lighting up a skyline of pines and rolling hills reflecting upon a lake of black glass.
Thousands of diamonds scattered across the crisp blue waves created by warm summer breezes.
Embers glowing in the darkness as friends warm themselves by the fire on a chilly evening.
