In our minivan on Saturday, I created a monster.
Make that four monsters.
Benjamin rode along with Shannon, her mom, her cousin, and me. He joined them in pointing out everything yellow — storefront awnings, road signs, vehicles — you name it, they saw it. While I appreciated their participation at first, it began to grate on my nerves. They knew that, I’m sure, and so kept at it. You can always count on family.
At one point, while my helpers were distracted, I noticed three tiny yellow flags on thin metal sticks warning not to dig near a silver fire hydrant with yellow caps. That would make a nice grouping for Project Yellow, I thought. From the driver’s seat I slid down the front passenger’s side window and aimed my trusty Nikon and its 70-210mm zoom (translates to 105-315 on the DSLR body). Optically, it’s my best autofocus lens.
At the instant I depressed the shutter release to engage said autofocus, a truck pulled up beside us, completely obscuring my view.
Would you believe it was a yellow truck?
So, instead of a boring picture of three caution flags and a fire hydrant (which has been done in Project Yellow already), you get a boring picture of an obsolete Mapsco Texas Road Atlas. But can you guess where it is?
