What I go through to get a photo

What with sinking in sand,getting funny looks when on my knees getting macro shots,increasing the size of the pile of dirty washing .My family thinking I am nuts especially when they see me sat on a chair with a cuppa and the camera underneath my huge rotary washing line full of washing.I had to top it off today by looking like I had wet myself.It is a glorious hot sunny afternoon here so I went to Exmouth beach and the tide was out so made my way to the rocks in the sea.Thought I would look see what I could find in the rock pools.Well I was walking along on a concrete groyne which goes down between the natural rocks.As its underwater a lot it there is a lot of seaweed and barnacles on it.I picked my way very carefully studying the rock pools to take photos.Well my right foot caught a bit of slippery seaweed and I felt myself slipping.Just as I thought I had averted a fall I felt my foot give again and down I went.Luckily I didn't land on the coccyx but on the right bum cheek where there was plenty of padding,still hurt though.I felt such a fool.kept tight hold on the camera around my neck and kept it in the air so it didn't hit the ground.When I got up I was covered with seaweed and also as the rocks are of red sandstone I was dirty and looked like I had wet myself.Must have looked a right prat and I had to get back to the car looking like that.Haven't been through the photos yet,There had better be a couple of good ones
