Story with a photo - Bike Ride of Fate

I stumbled across the setting for this quite by accident; I was riding my bike along a favorite trail near my house, looking for cool plants to photograph for Phoenix Magazine at the request of a friend.  Not finding any, I was ready to turn back and look elsewhere, when I opted to ride up a nearby hill for fun.  I rode to the top, and not realizing I was standing at the edge of a small cliff due to tall grass and weeds, I suddenly lost my footing, and tumbled 20 feet, fortunately landing in a clump of relatively soft plants.  I slowly sat up and realized I was surrounded by beautiful flowers of many colors - red, yellow, orange, but most of all, purple.  I immediately knew that I had my picture.  After snapping several shots, I now had the problem of getting back up the cliff to where my bike was lying on its side; a painful half hour later, I was on my way back home.  It wasn't until I got home that I realized how many cuts and bruises I was covered with.
