Who Needs Seattle?
"Chance"
It was another late night of shooting the breeze, but at least we called it quits before the hearing the chirping birds this time. We still got off to a late start this morning, but since we didn't have any set plans for the day, it didn't really matter. After Peter's long ride, he wasn't particularly interested in spending a full day on the bike anyhow. We had talked about taking a day ride out to Estes Park, but with really only a half day at best to explore, we settled for Red Rocks instead, but not before starting our day out properly with Starbucks. Unfortunately, the amphitheater had just closed for the Harry Connick, Jr. concert. We made the most of it and enjoyed the natural beauty of the rest of the park and, of course, took the opportunity to take some photos.
We hadn't eaten all day, so we rode 30 minutes out to Boulder to grab a bite. We walked - well, Peter walked, I hobbled - from where we parked Chance a block down the road to a deli near the CU campus for a 6pm "lunch". Along the way, we passed an alley that we felt made a worthy photo opp with the graffiti and many textures so we decided we'd shoot it on the return. It appeared that someone else felt the same way. When we turned the corner, a catalog shoot was taking place.After an interesting afternoon in Boulder, we made our way back to Denver, stopping along the way for a photoshoot of our own. For a June day, it was very chilly. We took a few shots and got back to the comfort of our heated seats as quickly as possible. The on-board computer read 46 degrees on the ride back, so we agreed to make one last stop in Golden to warm up, ending our trip as it began - at Starbucks. You can take the man out of Seattle, but you can't take Seattle out of the man.
