    Goof Ball Photos....(a new photo topic)

    Well we've had sunsets, macro, sunrises, moon, landscape, packs, etc.

    I was going through my image folders doing a bit of house cleaning and thought of the idea.

    How about your goofball shots, something that either turned out interesting because it was staged, or that you mistakenly turned out interesting.

    Anything that isn't "normal" hiking/climbing/paddling. here is what I have off the bat:

    self explanatory (an excuse for my wife to look up my shorts)..


    some snowshoe bouldering at Avalanche Pass


    Showing off the guns..



    Man 1, Dog 1...best of three (guess who won?)




    My brother getting involved in the insanity. The landing would have been nice but he messed around so many times i ran out of buffer!



    And the Caney will not be outdone (we made him climb this face, including the mantle start about 8 times, talk about staged!!!)...



    Exposing the truth (not staged I swear, I was testing a new lens while waiting for sunset and saw the backlighting on him, unfortunately he needs a bit of modesty)...

          Pico23, Your moving pictures scared me at first, I knew I didn't have that first breakfast beer yet! .....And no changing them and posting, what moving pictures? The last shot of the pooch was great.

                    I can't forget about my Goof Ball move when I stepped through thin ice up to my waist.

                    Notice the first step.
                    ... I knew I was in trouble!

                      Somehow I knew Justin would have no issues with this thread.

                        Nope!
                        Somehow, I had the feeling you started this thread with me in mind.


                        I've been called a goof ball more than once.
                        It's all good.
                        Just here, havin' fun as much as I can!

                        I'd bet Neil has a few pictures he should post here.

                              My friend crossing a brook while bushwhacking to the summit of a trailless mountain in New Jersey. The brook was overflowing its banks due to heavy rain the previous day and it was difficult getting across anywhere else besides this log.
                              Any person who climbs just one of the 46 Adirondack high peaks comes down with a curious malady. It's called summit madness. The only known cure is to climb the other 45.
