Feeling like you’re hanging on the edge?
Sometimes you don’t know whether to jump off or hang on for dear life.
Possibilities can be overwhelming and overestimated.
Maybe you won’t have to hang as long you we think?
What’s the worst scenario if you fall?
Perhaps you can make the second attempt.
And then, the reason you’re hanging on the edge might be something much simpler.
Are you hanging on the edge because something is sneaking up on you and you can’t shake it?
That seems to be happening around here. Tis the season. Allergy season, that is.
First the sneezing and itching eyes show up.
Then the tickle in the throat with the cough…and the runny nose…
Eventually, I feel cruddy all over and can only hope it doesn’t go into more.
For now, I’m hanging on the edge, just trying to shake that bad boy off!
Ha, bet you didn’t think this was where I was going!
Seriously, how can I possibly let a picture like this go to waste?
“Ha, bet you didn’t think this was where I was going!”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA! Suzi, that was BRILLIANT! You totally caught me off-guard!
Yes, I know so many people now who are experiencing the same thing – allergies. I usually experience allergies moving from winter into spring. However, the weather here has been so erratic; one day it’s hot and humid, the next day it’s clear and cool. I think that has a lot to do with the allergies people are having.
Awesome….and I mean AWESOME photo capture!
*two thumbs up*
Have a great day, my friend.

I love this shot. Dirt Man took an even better one in HDR, the colors are gorgeous, you can really see the blue…and it shoes a bit more of the crab.
You’re right. You couldn’t possibly let that shot go to waste.
What IS that thing?? Something that lives in the water, I’ll bet — can’t you tell I’m an inland sort of girl??! Here’s hoping you’ll feel better soon (have you tried Claritin? Works wonders for me!)
Ha, it’s a crab! Thanks. Claritin doesn’t work for me but I take Zyrtec which does help.
I hate that globby throat feeling. That critter would have scared me to death. I wouldn’t have harmed it, of course, but I wouldn’t have wanted it anywhere near me either.
They were hanging out all along the dock edges and banks.
Didn’t see that one coming either Ha Ha
I was going to come up with something like “sometimes we are hanging on when the fall really is not as far as we think” but never mind that, passing the tissues
I still have a few tricks up my sleeve, Jimmy. Thanks for the tissues; I was about out!
I know that hanging on the edge feeling, for many different reasons. Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to visit too often. Hope your allergies settle down soon!
Had a lot of them recently, but now I just feel yucky.
Eeeekkkk that is a creepy picture! Cool, but creepy!
There are a lot of edges right now in my world.
But speaking specifically of allergies . . . . oh my! I have not stopped sneezing this morning.
But its a pretty kind of creepy, lol!
Oh, of course!
How long did he hang around for?
The allergy season is a serious bug season for us. So many people have this cough that simply won’t go away. I am heartily sick of it in more ways than one.
This was while on vacation…they hung around all week. Perhaps we were invading their territory?
Wow, that is a great picture! It is allergy season here as well. Had to do some cub scout stuff at the park tonight and it just about did me in.
It’s supposed to be a beautiful weekend and plan to be out and about so it’ll probably get worse before it gets better…just hope I can keep the migraines at bay.
Never mind about allergies — this is such a perfect picture of the day I just had. I hope this one will find me back up on the dock! This picture is going on my desktop if not my wall!
Hope you’re back up on the dock and diving into life! The hubby took an even better one…if it’s on his FB page I’ll share it with you!
That is a totally awesome photo caught just in time.
Hope you get to feeling better.
Love catching cool shots.
Thanks, Georgette.
You totally threw me off. Great post.
Yes, allergies have completey snuck up on me, despite my starting to take Nasonex early in the season. This too shall pass.
I know they do just creep up on you even when you’re prepared…I take Zyrtec year round but they still get me every now and then.
Hang in there, baby . . . don’t be crabby!
P.S. . . . LOVED the photo. And the sentiments expressed.
Thanks, Nancy.
Great bylines!
My shrink would advise to note the very worst scenario into which a problem could materialize. Most of the time it would be out of possibility and made me not fear what actually might happen.
Good shrink!
sucked us right in, didn’t you? Awesome pic by DirtMan by the way.
This one is not Dirt Man’s but mine. His is much better than this one, but I didn’t feel like searching through the files for his, lol…
Oh well , excellent job you did on this.
Holy cow! That gives me the heebie jeebies!! I mean….how big is that sucker??? I hate allergies. Hope you feel better soon.
Ha, it wasn’t that big…small than a fist.
Sometimes a shot just wanders in front of the camera and begs to be taken! This is one of those shots. But I have to admit, allergies is not where I thought you were going with this one!
Funny how that happens, huh?
