How did my legs get cut up? I love to hike, but hiking doesn’t always love me. The below picture is evidence of that. You’d think I’d been hiking for a week or more with legs that cut up, but no. Just 3 days. And, that’s three days with overnight stays in huts, not in a tent. I love hiking, but hiking doesn’t always love me back. Falling, crawling, and scrambling is usually involved. And sometimes, things happen to my legs and I don’t even realize it. Not sure where all the cuts came from in this picture, but I do remember the bruises. I slipped a couple of times while crawling across slick granite in the pouring rain.
There is a definite change in skin tone where my sock line ends. That’s dirt. Not a tan. And yes, before I do any hut hikes, I always get a pedicure and this one held up pretty well. I hope you have fun with this creativity prompt.
Cut up legs or not – what bliss to go hiking for 3 days! If I wasn’t working today, the creativity prompt for me would be to produce an image that sums up my kind of bliss – mmm – maybe I still can – leave it with me! Glad you had a lovely time.Pretty feet by the way? I am wearing that same colour on my toes right now.
I have more of a hot pink sparkle on my toes now. This picture if from a few years ago, but every time I look at it, I think there are so many stories that those legs tell.
That’s my girl! I suppose active women wear these badges honor for having an active leisure lifestyle. Despite your cuts and bruises, your pedicure looks fab. I get bruises that bloom 3-4 days later, and by then, I’ve forgotten what I’ve done. It’s usually from moving the SUP board or windsurf board from one place to another.
This is why I’m an indoor girl…haha!!!
🙂
So hard to be an indoor girl where you live!
It’s the sign of an active life! I’m kind of intrigued, though, about your daily schedule… 😉
This picture was from a few years ago. Currently, hiking is not on the agenda because of back pain. But I thought all the bruises and cuts would make an interesting creativity Prompt.
It’s bruises with me – my legs are always bruised and I never know why!
Yeah, I usually have a spare bruise or two that I don’t know how I got. But these bruises? I earned each of them.
I love hiking, but I don’t know if I could ever do the hut stay in between. I need my nice bed after hiking! 😉
The huts have beds in them. Beds, pillows, and wool blankets. You can bring sheets or a sleeping bag. And the huts have food! Good food. You should try it once and the best starter hut is Zealand Falls hut.
