MANY WALKS ON THE SAME PATH

March 2020

Two weeks in Madera Canyon in the mountains north of Big Bend. Finding comfort in the familiar, I hiked the same path every day for 14 days.  It was an exceptionally wet spring in the mountains, and each day I focused on something new. 14 days — long enough for bright red penstemon to bloom on rocky hillsides, for yellow coneflowers to bloom and disappear.
