Description "Save My Life" ZZ Ward (she's awesome. yeah. mmhumm)

Save my life, set me free,
These lonely nights are haunting me,
Cut me out from the cold,
This young heart is getting old,
Save my life, set me free,
Yes or no is all I need,
You don't want me, darling, let me know,
Just say goodbye and I'll go.

A few weeks ago, I was lucky to be able to visit my grandparents. My youngest two went along and we filled our lungs and hearts with the cleanest of air and clearest of moments turned to memories.Β 

Down the river a way is a wonderful little waterfall--one I've jump from during much warmer months. It looks quite lovely in it's frozen tannin tinged glory. For this shot, I crept (wow...that's a word? ) my way out on the ice with my camera and tripod. And then scooted farther out. And farther. Gosh I'm such a...pusher, lol, of my luck. All was fine here though and we walked back down to the waterfall. I sent the kids up to the car to warm up, and while my son was a bit leery about leaving me alone-- I told him to go ahead, that I would call if there was a problem.

So yeah, I jinxed myself. Slipped on the ice. Sorta...jiggled my brains a bit and a few days later had a mini-relapse. I'm greatly improved, and being a much better behaved girl.

For now.

You are amazing, Jess. Β In the best possible way. Β (Though I suspect you make your family a little crazy.) Β

Calling out a choked and quiet glugglug usually doesn't bring help from afar.

That photo looks quite interesting and dangerous. Quite madhattery.

oh, trust me...the shriek would have been ear splitting and heard for miles--my camera in the water!?!

It was all of those things, sir.Β Β  A reflection of self, perhaps?? lol...especially the madhattery bit.

There's a group on dA called... uh... lemme look uh... MadHattersSociety, which is probably why that came to mind. The Mad Hatter does seem interesting and dangerous on his own account, though.

So it was the cAmera in the water that concerned you, not yoU in the water.

Thanks, dear!

I know it isn't, not truly. But...sigh...it was just there, Claudia. Begging me to shoot it! And I was very rusty and it shows in a lot of ways, but I was so happy to be out and about.

92.5% of the time I'm a really good girl.

well, that falling was probably something to see. I sacrificed my hip for my camera and lens. Good thing I have, ahem, a little--you know, padding to break my fall.

I'm trying to feel better everyday. promise.
