Gorgeous Setting "Memoir" by Catherine R.

Out in the Open

            As I open the car door the smell of the fresh, crisp air wafts up my nose sending a chill that crawls up my spine. The sun shines in a glowing shade of auburn that makes this place so soothing. Everywhere you look there are fresh pine trees that make up this everlasting forest. You can hear the miniscule animals scuffling through the woods, tramping over the crunchy, anhydrous leaves. I walk down the steep hill that forms a path between the woods. As I reach my destination I see the large body of water that is a bright aqua because it reflects the sky. There are many appealing things in my vision: proud, tall mountains; a rickety, wooden dock; slippery, mossy rocks; a loon that glares at me with its scarlet eyes. Above me there are puffy, billowing clouds that lead a journey up to space.

Check out Caroline's eloguent adjectives!  She has a distinct writing style that is grand and descriptive.  I especially love her complicated list, which incorporates both the colon AND correct semi-colon use.  I really love that she took it upon herself to create a pithy and creative title.  Bravo, Catherine!
