I was looking at my Flickr page the other day and realized it's been quite a while since I got out and did any photography. I think that's partially because I'm at the point with Denver that I really don't want any more reminders of this place. All I know is that every time I take my camera out with me I find no inspiration anywhere.
But photography is an itch I need to scratch every so often, and yesterday I really wanted to go somewhere and capture images of something. Unfortunately the weather wasn't looking cooperative.
Ben suggested we head west and drive to the top of Mt. Evans.
I was less than enthused at the idea. Yeah, maybe if the sun was shining and dark rain clouds weren't threatening in the west, but not with the way things were looking when he first proposed the idea.
After lunch the sun was starting to peek out in places, and he convinced me that we at least needed to get out of the apartment and go somewhere other than Starbucks. And since Sammy hadn't yet been on a road trip with us, it might be a good chance to see how he'd react.
I agreed with the proviso that if my camera battery wasn't charged all bets were off.
Amazingly, the battery in my camera was fully charged, so we set out on our little adventure, and I'm so glad we did.
The pictures are beautiful. I always find your blog interesting as I moved from Denver to Boston 18 months ago and miss it terribly. I would do anything to get back to Denver and you feel the opposite.
Help us get a job and you can take ours! :-p
It's just not home.
