Second Vignette: Janie
Various women I have known.
~~~~~~~~~~
A vignette is a short and descriptive piece of writing that captures a brief period of time, and is more focused on vivid imagery and meaning rather than plot.
Enjoy.

We were on vacation in the North Georgia Mountains and up into North Carolina and Tennessee. It was beautiful and even in the height of summer the temperatures were mild, not uncomfortable at all.
Janie and I mapped out several trails and we spent a good amount of our time hiking. We had a lot of fun out in the woods, enjoying Mother Nature, in all her glory.
One day as we were walking on a trail near the Blue Ridge Parkway, I noticed an offshoot, slightly overgrown, no signage, not looking like it was used often. It was not shown on our map.
So, in the interest of exploring we followed it.
The trail did not seem to be heading in a particular direction. Janie and I kept walking, mainly out of curiosity but soon I got to thinking. I had my backpack with water and snacks but I also carried a few other items.
So, after a little while, I stopped and pulled Janie to me. I kissed her, she responding happily, and while we were standing close, I started to lift the hem of her shirt, She looked down and asked what was I doing.
I grinned and said, as I have on so many other occasions, "I think we need to get you undressed."
Janie looked around and of course there was no evidence of anyone else and she turned back to me with a big grin. I lifted the hem of her t-shirt and pulled it over her head. I put my backpack on the ground, balled up her shirt and put it in the front compartment. I unhooked her bra and it joined her shirt. Then I loosened her belt and unbuttoned and unzipped her shorts, lowering them and helping her to step out of them.
