In June of 2000 Art and I went to California to celebrate his sister's retirement after teaching for over 30 years. We then went off on our own to Yosemite to enjoy the scenery. It was my first time there and I loved it.
During one of our hikes to Lembert Dome, Art took this photo of me.
I sent the photo to our son, Jon and daughter, Tiffany saying I was trying to do a Tom Cruise type climb.
I don't think they were fooled for a minute. Jon said it might have worked if I'd planned more carefully and showed my hands actually holding on to something.
I'll remember this the next time I'm at a National Park. However, I don't think I could fool them since they know me too well. I don't like heights and would never put myself in a situation where I could end up like this. Besides, they know Art would never let this happen. I think.

That looks pretty dangerous! Happy to hear that you wouldn't really do that,
ReplyDeleteYep you could have really pulled it off it you had been holding onto some climbing spikes or something. That is great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a photo. I'm so glad you were really horizontal.
ReplyDeleteYour closing line always comes as a surprise, LOL.
Holding onto some rocks with desperation, AND lift your toes up off the rocks. Then it would have been unmistakably scary! As it is, it's pretty darn good! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your kids also know you well enough to know you have a great sense of humor and I bet they got a good laugh out of this picture.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute stunt, Kay! At least it was FUN when you tried rock climbing! You've got to try skydiving next. DrumMajor
ReplyDeleteYou shoulda told them that you were a gecko in your former life...
ReplyDeleteYou know...I just assumed you have REALLY sticky hands!!! :)
ReplyDeleteCute post Kay!!
ReplyDeleteHa! You almost fooled me, but I agree with your son, you should have at least held on to something. :)
ReplyDeletefunny, great title for a post. I was so curious to what had happen to make you loose your grip...lol!
ReplyDeleteOh, how fun!! I do love yours and Arts sense of humor!! It would have to be a "fake" climb for me, too! I love the mountains and views, but I'm spooked by great heights and steep cliffs and keep away from the edges!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the grins and giggles this morning!!

It's a great shot. I did a Double take. LOL
ReplyDeleteHad me fooled for a minute there! Great shot.
ReplyDeleteHey Kay, I wasn't fooled either and I didn't look at your hands until I read Jon's comment. Tell Art he will have to airbrush the small rocks out of the photo to make it believable. Dianne
ReplyDeleteLooks kinda scary to me, even knowing that is is posed.
ReplyDeleteI can't look!
ReplyDeletesay, wait a minute. . .
