"At times, you become almost certain that you slabbed this hillside three days ago, crossed this stream yesterday, clambered over this fallen tree at least twice today already. But most of the time you don’t think. No point. Instead, you exist in a kind of mobile Zen mode, your brain like a balloon tethered with string, accompanying but not actually part of the body below. Walking for hours and miles becomes as automatic, as unremarkable, as breathing. At the end of the day you don’t think, “Hey, I did sixteen miles today,” any more than you think, “Hey, I took eight-thousand breaths today.” It’s just what you do." -Bill Bryson, A walk in the Woods. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Distance changes utterly when you take the world on foot. A mile becomes a long way, two miles literally considerable, ten miles whopping, fifty miles at the very limits of conception. The world, you realize, is enormous in a way that only you and a small community of fellow hikers know. Planetary scale is your little secret." -Bill Bryson, A Walk in the Woods _ Tags: #naturephotography #beautiful #hiking #AutumnTreats #autumn #hamptonroads #outdoors #nature #naturelover #wanderlust #optoutside #awesomeearth #earthpix #beautifulday #Nolandtrail #eastcoast #photography #photographer #jamessmithsonphotography _ // @canon EOS Rebel T5 @canonlense 18-135mm @lightroom _ Prints available: jamessmithsonphotography.com (at Noland Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqsQdTKARra/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bgynh5bsaq84
