The Sky's the Limit

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

  4. Oh my! My college girl climbs and she scares me! She sends me pictures, but I haven't been a witness, yet. Beautiful photos and words for the moments shared.

    What do you hear about Di's recovery?

  15. 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.
