Leaping into Hedges

leaping into hedges . . .

this is quite the phenomenon during monday night frisbee games at holcomb gardens on butler university's campus.

mackenzie and i decided to start up a little frisbee game last year, calling any friends we thought would play. now, here we are, a year or so later, and we have 80 people on the weekly email listserv!!! how lovely!

back to the leaping. since we play in the holcomb gardens, we have to play with some prickly boundaries, also know as: the hedges (shown above). these are no ordinary hedges. i believe that they are extra forgiving (most of the time), and that they like the extra attention paid to them on monday nights. it's a pretty exciting experience to jump into a hedge simply to catch a flying disc.

ahhhhhh . . . the glory!

the only bummer is when the hedge decides against the forgiveness aspect i mentioned and scrapes you to smitherines! i feel like my back was a canvas for a particular hedge . . . and it surely left it's marksssssss - youch!

at least i caught it. :-)

you definitely gashed your back. i definitely don't bush dive for that reason - the bush wins...
