I had 10 secs to get here.. by maggiemae

I had 10 secs to get here..

from the driveway where the tripod stood. You can imagine the pressure. I didn't want to trip, bang into anything etc. I just managed here to get to the open window. The idea was to photograph the lovely yucca growing there in front of the bedroom window, There were three this year and they last for quite a while
Thankful for:
Some chicken I had marinated and intended for the night's dinner. It didn't happen for two days but the chicken didn't mind!
The garden is lookin lovely!

Looks great, seeing you looking out at the garden with such wonderful greenery and flowers.

@taffy I wasn't sure if my settings would get me in the dark window or the wonderful light on the white yucca! I did choose f8.

A wonderful scene of you looking out to your garden - such lovely bushes and the proud looking yucca .

Lovely and glad you didn't trip

10" is a long time until you use self timer!

Such a delightful capture of you and your beautiful garden, you sure got your settings right.

Well done! Beautiful garden and your smiling face is an added pleasure! Good effort to get there in time.

Well done.

I have to give it a FAV for your physical prowess! The garden looks so lush.

The chicken was probably even better because of the long soak

What did you do, a summersault through the open window, impressed so a FAV

Good running Maggie, you don’t even look breathless! You planned that shot really well & it works beautifully!
Well marinated chicken would be extra tasty!

Very clever, and glad you made your destination without incident. That would not be a good way to start your new year.

A super shot and a perfect glimpse of you at the window - well done!
January 4th, 2022  
Peekaboo, you add a nice extra to your garden

@ladymagpie the mind boggles, Heather!

@digitalrn I did practice, Rick - hate to have an ambulance come up the drive!
January 4th, 2022  
@happypat I had to do this 4 times before I got it right, Pat! Thats my exercise for the day!

Super selfie! Love the setting!

@seattlite So am I, Gloria! I had to be very careful - if I slipped on something, I could have done something quite bad but I did have good shoes on!
January 5th, 2022  
Well done!
January 5th, 2022  
Good job--I'd never have made it.
January 5th, 2022  
Well done on the successful image.
January 5th, 2022  
It's great that you made it safely. Beautiful garden!
January 5th, 2022  
You did very well Maggiemae... A delightful capture of you looking out at your beautiful garden.

I think that if I tried this the best I would get is a picture of my back entering the door.
January 8th, 2022  
@skipt07 Ive done that too, many times. I had to be as quick as I possibly could without missing a step and leaving all the doors open!
