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.
Looks like soooooo much fun…great memories! ❤️Norma
ReplyDeleteIt was enjoyable too looking back at the photos of others flying down on their crazy carpets!
DeleteCute costume, sounds like a fun hike. But, it looks so cold. Take care, enjoy your day and have a happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteI remember it being very cold, I had loads of layers on but the fun times with friends warmed my heart and soul!
DeleteWhat fun to read this post, and several of the previous ones. We love the Rockies and have hiked in many of the places you've mentioned - Waterton Lakes, Plain of Six Glaciers, Lake Minnewanka - such a beautiful, beautiful part of the world. Thanks for commenting and following my blog. Vancouver Island is a gorgeous place to explore, too. There are many kinds of loveliness in the world. Happy Adventuring!
ReplyDeleteThank You for stopping by and leaving your comment! Some day I will venture back to Vancouver Island to get my fill of the ocean and fish!
DeleteYour art work is so cool. Speaking of cool ... Boulder Pass looks downright cold. 😊
ReplyDeleteNot only does Boulder Pass look cold, it was cold and it looked and felt desolate! I was prepared and dressed for that so able to fully enjoy the adventure to the fullest!
DeleteWhat great photos. I love the outfit and doesn’t it look good against the snow. B x
ReplyDeleteAaaah you noticed that too, red was the perfect colour to be wearing!
DeleteWow! What awesome fun! All looks a tad different to our Spring visit 2016.
ReplyDeleteI just went back and read about our adventure on that June day in 2016. It was so much fun!
DeleteIt was totally awesome!
