Water Color
Ah, welcome to part 8 of my little blog odyssey, where I tip my hat to the crème de la crème of my 2009 photo collection. Today's VIP entry, making its grand entrance into my "Abstract" album, is none other than "Water Color." Captured on the morning of June 6, 2009, at 9:22 AM, in the scenic vicinity of Missoula, Montana, with my beloved Canon PowerShot SD1000 in hand.
Now, calling this masterpiece "abstract" might be stretching it a bit, but hey, that's the kind of quirky decision one makes when categorizing photos at an ungodly hour. It's like naming a cat "Dog" and insisting it's a revolutionary concept. So, is it genuinely abstract, or am I just serving you a plate of hot air?
I still vividly recall the moment I snapped this picture. I was idly biding my time for my training buddy Zeph to show up for our grueling threshold intervals up Butler Creek Road. The weather was doing its best impression of a gloomy British day—cold, wet, and downright dreary. Yet, in my heart, I knew Zeph, the embodiment of hardcore, would brave the elements. Except, she didn't. So, there I was, left to my own devices, getting intimately acquainted with sandy mud in a way I never thought possible.
Later, the plot twist unfolded—Zeph did turn up, but our wires got crossed. She ventured up Grant Creek Road, placing her on one mountain ridge, and me on another. You see, when I said “Snow Bowl,” apparently, that was her cue. Ah, the irony. Well, that’s life for you—full of missed connections and muddy adventures.
