Jumping for no real reason

I've been inspired by several people who have awesome jumping shots. I'll admit thought, it is a LOT harder than it looks. Particularly if you aren't wearing the right kind of shoes.

It took 12 tries before I got this one which, coincidentally, occurred right when the rain drops started falling. After a quick conference with the dog, we agreed this would suffice for now (I think she was worried that I was going to be embarrassed by having to explain how I broke my ankle...). I'd like to try this again, but, of course, with different shoes.
