Part II: So we are merrily making our way through May and June in warm pleasant weather for the most part and then wham snow in the valley. Neat. It's Missoula so we all are pretty unfazed by this latest change of seasons. I decided it would be fun to take an hour long walk in the rain, just for kicks. Only towards the end did I think mmm maybe this was a bit long, oh well. I no sooner get dry, when I decide that I really should have pics of the "M" with snow around it in June.
So I don my winter coat, bright pink workout pants, my over sized flaming white and green umbrella, and my chacos and start ambling down the street with my huge camera stuck under one arm. I am sure no one noticed me. I really should have had my picture taken by one of the other crazy passerbys cuz it was quite a sight. I ended walking a far bit further than I had originally thought I was going to. Imagine me trying to use both hands to hold the camera while the other one worked the zoom and keep the umbrella over me and the camera....funny stuff. Yeah then I got the bright idea I should document my chaco clad feet with the snowy mountain backdrop. so now i am balanced on one foot, with the other one in the air while trying to get down low enough for the angle to capture the mountain in the 
background, adjusting the zoom and holding the umbrella..... so when I passed the guy walking the other way whose smirking face hardly contained his amusement, I acted like this whole trip was totally normal. And I guess in a way it is normal for Missoula.....LOL.
Guess that's why I live here. I fit in with the other crazies, that you can never be quite sure what they are going to do next. I was not able to get my toes and the background in focus which toatlly bummed me out but hey I didn't tip over, so that was a bonus.
