Lion's Head at Sunset












6/19/09
Annalise called me this morning to say that she had been up sick all night. Shame. Dana was going into Sara Fox today so at least I had a carpool partner! Except that I got about 400 feet from Red Cross before I realized that she wasn’t going to Red Cross...and I didn't exactly know where Sara Fox was. After driving around town and trying to call sara fox, we finally called Gabby who led us in the right direction. That beetle has seen it all.

After work Dana and I agreed to hike Lion’s Head for sunset. She hadn’t hiked it yet, and I hadn't yet seen the sunset from there. We asked around and ended up with a group of 5: Myself, Dana, Chiristine (her roommate), Sarah and her dad. Dana was willing to try the chain portion of the hike (straight up instead of around), but the others backed out. She started up and almost reconsidered, but I coached her through it and she did fabulous.














We made it to the top in just under an hour. We had enough time for a quick picnic, and a photo shoot before finding a comfortable spot to watch the sun go down. While we were taking pictures, I saw an opportunity for an amazing shot. Dana was sitting on a rock with the sun setting behind her. I moved slightly to the right and had her perfectly enough line to have the sun divinely silhouetting her. The result was breathtaking and we each took a turn outdoing each other on poses. I think I won with my Airplane, a yoga balance pose…
