I came so close to not taking a picture today. I just couldn't come up with an idea. I had no inspiration.
I went to the pantry and poured the last of an excellent dram that I had purchased last fall. I patiently waited for every last drop and then it hit me...the bottle was my inspiration! I carefully placed the now empty bottle and my final glass of Caol Ila on the table and grabbed the tripod and camera. I looked and appreciated the pale amber liquid, the sparkle of the crystal. I could smell the peat smoke that many years ago had dried the malt. I savored the moment, the light and snapped my pictures. I made it through another day.
I have finished that last glass and now I've posted my photo. I have no idea what I will do tomorrow.
