I'm transfixed by a pink vision on the rock
long hair billowing she synchronizes
balancing, stretching, and pulling
quickly scaling the height

| My 8 year old Granddaughter climbing in Breckenridge |
finally releasing (the scariest part for me)
she flutters downward
gracefully rappelling back to Earth
no big deal
just
skill and trust
and
believing in yourself
One day to be a strong and independent woman! Nice shots!

ReplyDeleteAnd what strong legs and such beautiful hair she has.
Till I saw "8 year old", I had thought she was much older - the posture of her looks matured probably due to her calm and collected attitude seen from the photos. It's nice for her to believe in herself and have confidence.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a courageous girl! And how scary to watch, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteJust believing in ourselves...no easy thing, sometimes. I like what you said, "I'm transfixed by a pink vision on the rock". That introduction transfixed me immediately. :)

ReplyDeleteGood for her! Accomplishments like that breed confidence and will serve her well down the road.
