There are sporty youngsters, and then there are the freakish ones!
I had been watching these kids jumping on the trampoline on Sunday and they all seemed to be having a whole lot of fun, so I took a few pics.

And then … then I persuaded (well, to be honest, it didn’t take much persuasion) the university student to give it a go, and she taught the others a thing or two. No, she’s not a gymnast but she did once own a trampoline herself … And throughout school she showed amazing prowess in whatever sport she put her mind to … I put myself at risk by lying on the trampoline to take some of these but I needn’t have worried. Are you as impressed as I was with her terrifying skill?

Here we go then!

Faceplant? Never!

And, as a special bonus, here are her supporters (taken with my wonderful wide-angle lens).

I'd love to hear from you. Please leave a comment.
They called me weed
I have been blogging here since around April 2011 - my little place on the blogosphere to express myself creatively. As a teenager I used to write a diary - in fact, as a 17-year-old living in Belgium, I wrote religiously every day. Fortunately the Internet didn't exist back then because my ramblings as a teenager were ever-so-slightly dark, cynical and depressing. You won't find much of that here. Also, mostly, I try not to get too deep or philosophical in this forum - I'd like my photography to uplift and inspire, and, where I can, I try to bring a bit of humour into my writing too. I've been fortunate enough to travel extensively and have made many friends across the globe. This is my spot to keep in touch with them.
Wow perspective!
