I am backpacking through Roaring Plains, West Virginia on a beautiful, sunny, Fall weekend. I am overwhelmed with a sensuous symphony of Autumn. Here, for your pleasure, is an October montage of the five ways with which we interact with the world. . .
The sights:
 |
| Brilliant red blueberry bushes |
 |
| Autumn palatte |
|
|
The sounds:
 |
| Trickling water on a rock |
 |
| When the wind blows, pine needles fall and tinkle all around like a brief, delicate rain shower |
The smells:
 |
| The earthy scent of rotting leaves and vegetation on the forest floor |
|
|
 |
| Even the fresh bear scat adds fall colors and scents |
|
|
The textures:
 |
| Crispy moss covering the ground in the bog |
 |
| Thick, cushy lichen in the bog |
|
The tastes:
 |
| A tri-colored carrot from the farmer's market that tastes like candy |
 |
| Hearty lunch on the mountain |
