Cocoon.

147/365. I had such a great shoot planned, and it was the first time in weeks that I was excited about taking a photo. I blew up a dozen or so balloons of every color and lugged all my stuff out into the clearing behind my neighbors' house, thinking that they were gone. Five minutes into setting up, I hear their garage door open, and they start walking out to where I was to inspect. I ran off into the woods and waited for them to leave... But all I heard was them popping all my balloons and laughing in their maniacal redneck ways. So I did what I always do when I'm sad: hang upside down from a tree.
