"Embraced"

The river that day was the color of a starling egg. The freshly leafed out trees, chartreuse in the sunlight. And the canyon walls a rich copper with hints of vermillion and a purple the color of my darkest lipstick that I only wear when I feel brave.

This place awakened my senses and stirred wonder in me in a way that it is hard for familiar landscapes to do.
