Happy Hallowe'en!

It's been awhile since I took a day off from being "out & about" so I declared today an "out & about" free day! Even though I was not "out & about", my mind went to a day that I was "out & about".  A way back on Hallowe'en Day in 2009, was the first time I dressed in a costume to hike.  It was the first time, but not the last time, yet the best time!  The full story with photos is in the link above.  I enjoyed playing the part of The Devil and when the curtain went up, I put on a show!  I bet Boulder Pass & Ptarmigan Lake in the Skoki Region never looked like it did on that October 31st in 2009 when we invaded it!  

The whole day was worthy of framing and I have done that numerous times since, in varies blog posts over the years.  Today I framed that day again but in a different way, I did a watercolour painting of my favourite photo from the dozens that I took.  This is my painting with the reference photo underneath.

In addition to rereading that blog post a few times, I also looked back at all my photos and remembered how much fun the day was from the beginning right to the end when we crazy carpeted down the long and winding four kilometre road back to the parking lot.
