This leaf looks stable enough.

But it wasn't the leaf that fell. It was a water bottle that we'd tucked into some straps on my camera bag. One of those tinted, thick-skinned ones, and borrowed too!

To the bottom.

Where I'd secretly wanted to go anyway.

We threaded through the timbers to our target.

...returned to the top...

And all headed back, not too much worse for wear!

It's actually a wee bit...

Precarious!

So through the brush we headed, down the steep slope.
