We (mother, father, brother, me) arrived at our tiny cabin in the woods after dark. We were just across the street from a live active volcano. After we had checked into the cabin, we thew our stuff inside and went over to the volcano to stare at its red, rumbling mouth because it's much more impressive at night. That red glow.
We settled into the cabin which didn't have outlets or a restroom but did have the most delightful cushy down comforters. It was drizzly and rainy outside which was terribly disappointing because we only had 2 nights here and both were overcast. The last time I was in this area, I went to look at the stars and saw the most spectacular display of shooting stars and the Milky Way. Star gazing here was one this I was really, really looking forward to (nerd). Alas, it didn't happen.
But when I woke up in the morning, this was the scene before me as I walked to the bathhouse. That green. That green was the most perfect of perfect greens ever. And those trees (eucalyptus, I believe)...we don't have trees like that on the East Coast of the mainland.
This photo makes me happy sigh. I can remember the peace and quiet there. The smell of eucalyptus. The birds chirping. How I dropped one of my blue glass bottles in the bathroom and it shattered all over the concrete bathroom and the whole bathroom smelled like my apple cider vinegar face tonic.
Wait...what?!
Ah, memories.
