Friday's Dancing Blogger Goes Hiking!

Blogger Jessi from Better Late Than Never sent this awesome photo of her jumping while on a hiking trip in Colorado.  Jessi's blog follows her life as a recently turned dance major doing what she needs to do to fulfill her dreams and become a dancer.  As her blog name indicates, she's an optimist who is willing to get a second bachelor's degree in order to achieve her awesome goals.


She says she was bummed that her feet weren't pointed but I think her flexed feet gives the photo a carefree and unrestrained joyful quality.

Does nature make you jump for joy also?
To send in your jumping or dancing photo just email it to me at tiffkaddy at hotmail.com.


An PS....I just realized, as I am staring at my half eaten Nutella Jar, that the company that makes Ferrero Roche also makes Nutella.  And Kinder eggs.  And Tic Tacs.  Who knew?

Go Jessi! I wouldn't even have noticed the position of the feet - I just perceive it as a wonderful, carefree photo. And yes - nature does make me jump for joy. I guess that's why I don't live in a city.

You've made me crave Nutella with this post. And after devouring the entire jar, I am sure that I will be unable to jump for the next week! :P

Ally said...

the only thing about nature that makes me really happy is the beach and ocean. i don't like bugs and bird poo and skunks and that's what i have in my neighborhood. maybe if i lived in a lovely seaside town or on the west coast it'd be diff. :(

Olya said...

upside down arabesque to THAT. SUPER STRONG hamstrings, abs, leverage, and flexibility. Oh, and I'm sure there is a "no-more-then-100lb" tied in there somewhere.
