A sequence of events

Husband called me to look at an interesting moth.
Moth flitting from flower to flower.
I quickly grab camera, put sandals on incorrectly.
I find moth but twist my ankle and fall to the ground.
Husband I thought was rushing to help - no he was rushing to get his phone to photograph me on the floor.
While I am standing up he is sending photo to family.
Impressed that throughout this the camera stayed safe and I was not injured.
Managed to get shot of moth but it flitted onto the honeysuckle in a nanosecond.
It looked like a hummingbird hawk moth.
That’s some afternoon you’ve had - lucky no twisted ankle or worse

LOL! I don't know whether to be impressed with your hubby's quick thinking to capture you on the ground or that you kept your camera safe in the fall. Take care, Susan!

September 3rd, 2023  
Lol, hopefully you are not hurt!
September 3rd, 2023  
LOL. Love the back story so to speak!

I have no words! I am trying to decide which photo I like better!

Good to know you are OK and your camera is too. Quick thinking on hubby‘s part. A true photographer’s spirit to go for the camera first.

Oh, dear! I hope he had a good laugh too! It looks like you did!
September 3rd, 2023  
Lol I’m with all previous , but hope your ankle not too bad today

Great story, humorously written. Good photo by husband, who did exactly the same as mine would have done 😂 glad you weren’t injured.

@carole_sandford @nigelrogers @monikozi @grammyn @ankers70 @corinnec @30pics4jackiesdiamond @marlboromaam @rensala thank you for your comments and concern. I am pleased to report that I did not sustain any injuries.

Glad to hear no injuries. If you hadn't told the story, I would have thought you were shooting clouds above you or taking a rest from your macros of the garden. Great photos, both. Although the moth one is a bit small to really enjoy.

Now that is a storytelling shot! I am glad to know that no Susans were harmed in the making of this image.

I had to smile at this, maybe so typical for many photographers. He obviously saw that you were not hurt ;-)

A great tale and photo to share with family, friends and 365.

Typical hubby taking a photo before checking if you are ok. Glad you weren't injured and your camera survived too
