Windy




I decided to get outside today and read my book. After about 5 minutes of reading I had an incredible urge to climb trees. Well that is precisely what I did. After 2 mediocre climbs I went for a tuff one.

This was a tall tree. I had to shimmy up about 10 feet and then quickly grab hold of a branch with one hand unless I was to fall. I scrapped my legs and arms on the way up, which left a slew of marks. For the first time ever I carved my initials in a tree. I left it as a mark to whomever may climb that tree that they were not the only one. You can tell from the picture through the trees that my perch was higher than most other trees in the area.

One thing you notice while in a tree is how much they sway with the wind. A few times it become real windy and I hugged the tree to make sure that I didn't fall. Also, I don't think there were any ninja squirrels in this tree, at least any more.
