Site C4 at Fish Creek Pond, Saranac Lake, New York.

Chirping Bird.

I climbed Mt. Baker, quite steep for a hike. It must have taken about half an hour and this is the gift I accepted at the summit.

Whiteface Mountain is the fifth highest mountain in New York State and one of the High Peaks of the Adirondack Mountains. Set apart from most of the other High Peaks the summit offers a commanding 360 degree view featuring the Adirondacks and perhaps on a clear day glimpses of Vermont and even Canada. Located near the towns of Lake Placid, New York and Wilmington, New York the mountain is home to a ski area which boasts the greatest vertical drop in the eastern United States (3430 feet).

Vanity.

Prose ought to never appear contrived, often it is better to acknowlege its neccessity and let the subject become its own measure.

Destinations are not merely one's fate. Rather, they are a manifestation of intention and possibilty.

Pay per view two.

Landscapes can be seen and relate to how one feels. In such a relationship the environment expresses subtle complexity.

Coming down the mountain, reflection seen, mind at ease.

Ladybugs are and have for very many years been favourite insects of children, who are reputed to regard them tenderly. The insects had many regional names (now mostly disused) such as the lady-cow, May-bug, golden-knop, golden-bugs (Suffolk); and variations on Bishop-Barnaby (Barney, Burney) Barnabee, Burnabee, and the Bishop-that-burneth. (Maddie at Port Burwell beach)

The true charm of pedestrianism does not lie in the walking, or in the scenery, but in the talking. The walking is good to time the movement of the tongue by, and to keep the blood and the brain stirred up and active; the scenery and the woodsy smells are good to bear in upon a man an unconscious and unobtrusive charm and solace to eye and soul and sense; but the supreme pleasure comes from the talk. ~Mark Twain

An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day. ~Henry David Thoreau

Jennifer (JEN-ee-fer, JEN-if-er) (Welsh) "Fair one." Variant of Guinevere. Mythology: in Arthurian tales, Guinevere was Arthur's queen. The name is made popular by film star Jennifer Jones. Literary: Bernard Shaw used the name for the character of Jennifer Dubedat in "The Doctor's Dilemma" (1905). (Jenn at the campfire)

People tend to find something fascinating about flames and glowing coals, so a campfire is usually an agreeable way to pass the time from dusk to bedtime, particularly for those in a pensive mood. Campfires are also good venues for intimate conversation and storytelling ; yarns and stories about poltergeists are particularly popular. (Tom at the campfire)

S'more appears to be a contraction of the phrase, "some more", as in "Please, give me some more of that delicious treat." The informal nature of this term reflects the environment in which s'mores are traditionally served. Some have jokingly surmised that the name originated from people who were so busy eating the tasty dessert that they did not have time to speak in complete sentences, or alternately, that their enunciation was compromised by the fact that their mouth was still full of the previous s'more. It is postulated that a young girl named Megan Janicki coined this phrase, and this concoction, in 1927 while camping on the banks of the Ohio River on a chilly night. (Melaina at the campfire)
