The Beginning

Hello all!

So this is my first post.

Of my first blog.

Ever.

I think I'll start off the whole experience by explaining my blog's title, Midnight Stargazer.

Sitting down to decide on the perfect phrase, my thoughts wandered to this past summer's family vacation in the Adirondacks. It was in the middle of that wonderful week, after we had hiked multiple mountains (not like the altitudinous ones like you're probably thinking of- more like a thousand feet) and kayaked the Moose River, that we were enjoying the warmth of the nightly campfire provided by our hotel. Upon looking up, I realized how clear the night was- not a cloud in the sky. I walked over to the docks on the lake and laid down for a better view.

It was absolute heaven gazing at the billions of stars without a single artificial light to ruin their glow. I could smell pine and hear the distant calls of a loon. The only thing that motivated me to get up was my heavy eyelids, for by then, it was much later into the night.

Like I said, it was amazing.

Perfect place.

Perfect feeling.

Perfect title.
