Jumping for Joy!

A few days ago... I was jumping for the fun of it!

 It was a lovely day very little wind, I was asked to take some photographs of myself and some art with a Fair Isle landscape in the back ground for publicity for an Artist in Residency I'm doing next June. I took my tripod and camera out and about, using the timer delay I got a few reasonable photos as you will see below. But the photo above was just for fun! I clicked the button than had 10 seconds to run like mad around the pond and jump just as the camera took! After quite a few tries and getting pretty winded I got this photo... I wondered if anyone saw me from a distance up on the Rippack and thought what is that nutter doing now? but this time a year I almost never see people when I'm out walking and taking photos so I was safe. Great fun in a magical place.
