I went on another backpacking trip a couple weekends back. This time it was in the Allegany Mountain range at Minister Creek, which is right in Ohio's backyard -- and it was just lovely. It was a shorter trip this time, but it gave me a chance to breathe and be in the quietude of nature.
Additionally, I made new hiking friends as well as some new non-hiking friends -- such as this little salamander:
The trip entailed lots of wooded forests as well as ancient rock formations:
And my morning view from my tent was picture postcard perfect:
And it seems the color of the hiking day for me is teal. I seem to have acquired lots of teal for my hiking life including my pack --
-- my tent and my clothes! It's a bit much but I'm liking it.
So, with inspiration from my new hobby I made this color blend called, "On the Trail."

It's (obviously) a lot of shades of teal. I also made these boho earrings:

| Funky Modern Bohemian Teal Green Dangle Earrings |
And I couldn't resist expanding on the idea so I made this modern pendant:

| Modern Enamel Pendant with Copper Wire |
I'll be going on two more trips next month (during the height of autumn!) so I expect to be inspired by the browns and oranges and I look forward to coming up with some new color blends in that theme. Until then, have a great fall season!
