I'm so overcome with how beautiful this autumn has been. About a week ago I took a camera to the trail and took about 300 sequential pictures while I walked all the way down the trail and back. So that if I was ever to become really sick, in the hospital (mental or otherwise:) or in some way incapacitated, I know the thing I'd miss the most is being outside and walking/biking/running. I hope that never happens, but when my Dad couldn't walk anymore and
was really sick at the end, all I wanted to do was take him outside and go for a walk together like we did before. I pushed him in the wheelchair down the trail many times before we just couldn't do that anymore.
I wanted to catalogue, in some small way, all those things I love about walking on the trail, being outside, in every season, exposed to every kind of weather. I want to take the same sequence of pictures in every season. So if I am sick, my kids can can play me back those pictures like a slide show, and pretend I'm there if I can't be.
