more operative by the moment. The morning 's ice fishing over at nearby North Pond had been fine. After I ate my fish cakes back in my cabin at Mohawk Mountain, heat radiating from the wood stove, I 'd felt warm enough to peel down to a t-shirt and read. That was this morning. The night before I 'd wandered the forest 's central fire roads savoring the night air and watching the shadows my headlamp cast into the woods. One can relax well in the woods in winter at night: that soothing sense of aloneness
to that beloved spot under my favorite pair of trees. That day I had packed my hammock, a thermos full of jasmine tea, and the book that had been gathering dust on my shelf for months. I hopped in my car and drove the relaxing forty-seven minute journey (I had narrowed it down to the exact minute since I had driven there so many times). I stepped onto that familiar turf wearing my favorite jacket; it was a little more brisk than most would consider to be the perfect autumn afternoon, but I disagreed
sound to establish a cinematic orchestra and paints a vivid image full of depth and personality. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow incorporates religion through the influence of nature and the strong presence of musicality in “The Cross of Snow”, “My Lost Youth”, “Autumn” and “The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls”. Many of Longfellow’s influences on his works have sprouted from his early life experiences. Longfellow was born in Portland, Maine to Stephen Longfellow and Zilpah Longfellow. As a child Longfellow
Lockegee Rock near Morehead Kentucky holds a stunning view of the Daniel Boone National Forest! ¥ An absolute fantastic view. Captured from the top of the Daniel Boone National Forest, located in northeastern Kentucky near the city of Morehead, this featured image originates in one of the most beautiful and well kept secrets on earth. Although this location is breathtaking, efforts to capture images from the summit will certainly involve a bit hiking and climbing, but it’s definitely worth the
transition; the graceful, yet challenging move from the familiar into the unknown. The metamorphosis of the plain into the extraordinary. My favorite transition is that of summer to fall. Watching the deciduous trees as their robust green leaves mature to visual perfection, altering to a fluorescent red, yellow and orange. Once these leaves reach the epitome of their season, they take a leap onto new ground and unknown territory. They drift from the branches that have so lovingly held them through growth
In the first semester of Mr. McGee’s class was a very educational one. For the first time in my entire life I actually finished an entire textbook! The junior english B class had plethora of really amazing stories and poems. However, there was only a handful of stories and poems that really stood out for me. These stories and poems had a deeper meaning to them then the rest. Being in Mr. McGee’s class really helped me dive into a better understanding of even the most simple lines. I believe that
The Expansion of the NFL Generations The National Football League (NFL) has diverged over time during its existence from 1920. The National Football League 's experience is still more exciting today than in past generations. The actors today are larger, more degraded, and stronger than professional actors.

In my lifetime, I have been privileged to travel to some of the most beautiful places in the world. I have seen the rich fire of sunset over the Rocky Mountains and the brilliance of coral reefs in crystal blue Caribbean waters. No spot on earth, however, has yet surpassed the beauty of my childhood paradise, a place my family called Tamarack. Tamarack was a family camp and hunting lodge set deep in the heart of the Mountains. My earliest memories of it are fractured images of sights and sounds

He like to look at the clouds in the sky with a blank mind, he like flowers in spring, rain in summer, leaves in autumn, and snow in winter. he like to sleep early, he like to get up late, he like to be surrounded by people. He like delicious food and comfortable shoes; he like good books and action movies. He like the land and the nature, he like people. And, he love
contain is conveyed towards the crowd from their stage. As I am only a beginner jazz enthusiast I came into the concert expecting to be exposed to new and interesting techniques and styles of jazz and similar ideas to what I’ve been learning throughout my jazz history class. As the auditorium was filled with students and jazz fans alike, we didn’t know what to expect for each of the performers. With a few minor understandable delays, the concert began. To start the concert off strong, Ashli Bajone
