Descent

Today's writing challenge posted this picture and challenged us to write our own personal story about a descent.

Maybe it's a perspective looking down, from the top of a beautiful circular staircase.

Or maybe the basement in your grandmother's house that frightened you as a child -- and even now, as an adult.

 What this made me think of was actually a story of ascent, but I had to turn around and come down, so it's a story of descent as well.

It's the story of my last, and probably final, hike to Vernal Falls in Yosemite National Park. I have written about that already though, so I won't bore you. If you care to look it is my post on 9/15/14 entitled "Exercises"
