"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."

Quite possibly my most frustrating jumping shot to date. If I would have paid attention to the weather approaching perhaps it would have been a little more fun. I decided to hike up a mountain to do this shot but failed to notice the oncoming blizzard that was preparing to envelope the area. Just as I got to the top, the snow started flying and I there I was, jumping like a fool in the middle of it!

Thankfully the wind slowed and the sun popped out for a little bit and I managed to get in a few shots before shivering my way back home. The things we do for Flickr!

Hope you have a great weekend!
