and DOWN she goes :)

 Committed to great photography! yes all my friends will tell you that I love capturing that special moment with my blinding flash.  Monday night I took extreme photography to a whole other level as I took a challenge and crashed.

Monday was my first day back from Vacation and also one of those days at work so Kenny and I decided that we were going on the river walk downtown Des Moines to enjoy the nice spring weather and takes pictures of the new bridge work that has been done. I was in the moment I felt at peace and I could see the skyline lit up between the arc of the bridge but as always my short legs got in the way of getting that "picture perfect moment" so up I went. I thought that If I could just get on this big rock I would have it! with a good run and a jump I was there......and then I wasn't....CRASH, and then CRACK! Yep I was on the ground after a hard fall off the rock and onto another and then I'm guessing a roll to the ground. I laughed, I was completely embarrassed and not sure if I was going to cry for the pain and fear of almost dying.

I may have not gotten the Picture that I paid for but I learned a lesson and currently on my way with a new fashion statement, the left arm sling.  A broken rib and fractured shoulder later im still here providing moments of failure and lots of laughs to my friends.
Here are the few (unedited) pictures I did get, sorry they are a little blurry I was still in shock and pain lol
