Sky Diver

Ah, it was a beautiful day, and a great day to complete my photo group assignment of "self portrait." 
 
I was going to jump off the roof of my 2-story house, but I am afraid of heights. So I thought I would try it on a step ladder instead. 
 
I gathered up my umbrella parachute, orange helmet, sky diving goggles, long underwear suit, a red cape and started out the door. Nancy caught me and asked what I was doing, and then rolled her eyes. As I emerged from the basement with 2 stepladders, 2 long mirrors, and a couple of props for the mirrors, I started assembling them in the driveway. 
 
"You're not going to do that where all the neighbors can see you, are you?" Nancy was apparently not amused.

"But I have to have a clear shot at the sky!"

"Well then, I am going shopping and won't be back until after dark!"

Such is the life of a photo crack-pot.

Cheers
