I was standing on top of a cliff that faced a forest that seemed to go on for miles. The soles of my feet made contact with the coarse rocky ground, whose bumps tried to penetrate my skin. Above me was a twilight sky that was pinkish-purple in colour. You could see the many twinkling stars hanging from the sky. From below me I could hear the singing of cicadas and the chirping of bird, which blended together to form an orchaestra. A gentle blew against my face, bringing along with the salty scent of the ocean, not too far away. If I concentrated I could hear the waves crashing against the seaboard. It brought a calming sensation to my mind as though I was living a vivid fantasy.
I sat down, and folded my legs together, which made it look like I was meditating. Suddenly I could see something that was burning gold. It slowly rose to its throne in the sky. As it came up, I could notice that it was in a semi-circular shape. Soft golden rays of light radiated from its arc, which illuminated the dark that turned from blue- black to a deep orange. The wispy clouds in the sky which drifted around without a purpose, were now visible to me. Suddenly, a flock of birds whooshed past me, above my head. They were headed towards the

As it went up , it colour shifted from burning-orange to whitish-gold. The sky reciprocated and its own colours changed too, from deep orange to a light blue colour, which made it seem more playful. The forest below me also looked different. Before it was dark and ominous, but now it seemed like a delightful place, with birds flying around from place to place. The leaves of the many tropical trees in the forest, glimmered under the benevolent sun. I could feel its warmth and radiance striking my skin and heating it up. It made me sleepy and my eyelids started to droop. Unable to resist the temptation I curled up into a ball and fell asleep as though I was still in my mother 's
Gentle sea breeze tickled my face as I watched wisps of white fluff drifted across a crystal clear blue sky. The rhythmic sound of the wave; the screeching of the sea birds was so familiar and hypnotic at the same time. However, my children’s pearls of laughter turned all the other sounds into background
As both the United States and the world rapidly developed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, society evolved at a pace previously unimaginable. Electricity illuminated modern urban areas, cars began to dominate the streets, and families began to travel to movie theaters for a unique motion-picture experience. Yet, while the world was changing by the minute, some components of society were not reflective of societal revolution. Specifically, it was during the late 19th century that the conversation for women’s suffrage was even addressed for the first time, following the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848. It would be an extensive and arduous 72 years until women were ultimately given the right to vote, officially delineating women
Flecks of ash intermingled with snow flitted before him, dancing, twisting, and drifting through the air as they fluttered to earth. The breeze was gentle but biting. His breath, opaque, came in puffs in front of him, clouding his vision from time-to-time. Reflected in his eyes were high flames, golden yellow, bright orange, and brilliant white, and at the very heart of all of these colors, ice blue.
It is a warm summer night and shades of orange, red, and gold appear in the sky over the pine-covered hills. The sun soon disappears beneath the dark hills and darkness settles over the land. The buffalo, antelope, and elk find places to rest for the night and all is quiet except for the creeks and birds. In several hours, the sky will again be lit with a multitude of colors and the animals will begin to rise. A new day will begin in the Black Hills, just like it did hundreds of years ago.
I didn't know who I was, or where I was. I was scared, so scared. Out of nowhere I started glowing, heating up everything around me. "Do you feel that? " I heard a faint voice ask.
A deep silence always surrounded the mountains; even the wind seemed to carry it, spreading it through every valley and cave. We stopped walking at daybreak every day, today when I looked up to see the group stopped I fell onto my backpack and looked around with my elbows in the snow. The sun rose below me seeming to rest on the top of the mountains. Gone was the familiar terrain, the herds of wild yak and horses keeping us company, and the rolling green of the hills. Today the sun was not rising above me.
I was sitting outside my beautiful-golden-yellow, color-of-a-biscuit, house. When I saw a ocean of blue, walking up the hill. My dad yelled at me to come inside, but I watched in amazement of seeing this big ocean just rising up like bread in the oven. I knew something would happen in the next few days, just not like it happened. It happened fast, too fast.
I stand tall like the pines surrounding me, my body craving the sun, hoping to feel the warmth of the rays on my skin while the presence of the forest engulfs me. As the mountain chickadees begin their daily call, I feel the mountain air fill my lungs bringing me back home with each inhale. A slight breeze tugs at my hair and sends my soul tumbling to the worn trails leading back to the days I spent growing with my family in the wilderness. My parents first met in college while working at REI, they got engaged on a backpacking trip, were married in the sawtooths, and spent their honeymoon biking across southwestern Washington. When I was nine months old they took me on my first bikepacking trip; I rode behind them in a canary yellow trailer,
The sounds were amplified, the seals barks echoing through the crisp, morning air and the waves zealously slamming against the rocks. The great magnitude of water sweeping up, and slamming against the algae hooded earth. I felt water droplets
I watched as the big fiery ball climbed above everything else. It shot out orangish-red rays from all direction and made the town brighter. As lovely as the morning was I knew that today wouldn't be horrible. I could only watch from down here, the beautiful shining star.
Trees stood underneath, but there was one Treaty Oak Tree that stood out. This tree had think branches and it was as big as a circus tent. The trees had a strong scent and there was a faint smell of Orange Blossom’s in the distance. Tiny bugs flew into my mouth as the plane zoomed through the air.
It was an amazing sight to see. We didn’t stay there long because we wanted to make sure we got to the top fast. We journeyed onward. The trip
The ocean looked like an enormous pool of wonder. It was exceptionally blue that day with a slight green undertone. The surface looked as though it was covered with millions of diamonds crashing with the waves and kissing the sand. I remember the sand in between my feet, like standing on a coarse cloud that I could just seep into. The water teasing my toes and running back into hiding.
The cool, upland air, flooding through the everlasting branches of the lively tree, as it casts a vague shadow onto the grasses ' fine green. Fresh sunlight penetrates through the branches of the tree, illuminating perfect spheres of water upon its green wands. My numb and almost transparent feet are blanketed by the sweetness of the scene, as the sunlight paints my lips red, my hair ebony, and my eyes honey-like. The noon sunlight acts as a HD camera, telling no lies, in the world in which shadows of truth are the harshest, revealing every flaw in the sight, like a toddler carrying his very first camera, taking pictures of whatever he sees. My head looks down at the sight of my cold and lifeless feet, before making its way up to the reaching arms of an infatuating tree, glowing brightly virescent at the edges of the trunk, inviting a soothing, tingling sensation to my soul.
“What a great day for a boat ride,” I thought to myself. It is a cozy warm, shorts and short sleeve shirt day at the time that people are arriving onto the big bulky catamaran. The sky is light blue with some dainty see-through clouds and a slight warm western breeze. I am located on one of the tropical islands of Hawaii, Kauai. The glossy white surface of the boat is blinding because of the reflection from the early evening sun.
