Paines Prairie
Generally speaking, when the sign says "prohibited" "no admittance beyond..." "by order of..." etc. I stay away. It is part of my nature. A character trait that has defined - and limited - me, for a very long time.
But this day I was convinced by a dear friend, to travel off the beaten path, beyond the edges of the known, into the border of the forbidden, and to the heart of beauty that is hidden.
There was quite a bit of walking, fence hopping, rickety bridge crossing, and general good fun involved.
Though there is no way that I can share the majesty of the day, the cool pleasure of the dark night stroll out beneath the moonlight, or the joy that I felt in the company of a friend, I can and shall share this fragment of an image, a treasure from the expedition. It lies, beneath the lj-cut.
