PhotoHunt: hands - Skipping rope in his hands

Earlier this week I heard someone skipping with a skipping rope in the driveway. It was my oldest, Giancarlo - doing some exercise before he went to the Gym.

This is my latest PhotoHunt entry.

Carver said...: Great shots of your son. Skipping rope is fun but when I tried to do that some years back for exercise I couldn't believe how tired I got. Much harder than I recall from my youth. This was a wonderful take on the theme. Happy weekend.; March 28, 2009 at 8:24 AM

Corey~living and loving said...: Great exercise. I can't skip rope for 5 minutes before dying of a heart attack.

happy weekend.; March 28, 2009 at 4:26 PM

*lynne* said...: Teeheehee! Nice touch with the scrapbooking frames.

Back when I was very young, I know I could jump rope. Then one day in high school, I tried, and couldn't. Somehow, my coordination for that act was lost. I can barely get 3 - 5 hops in before my feet get tangled up!

This week, I entered twice: two similar settings yet two totally different takes. Do check them out here and here.

cheers,

Anonymous said...: Oh how terrible. Two evil words in one sentence!

"Exercise" and "Gym". I think I need to sit down for an extended period of time to recover from hearing them.

The photo is great so I shall forgive you ;); March 29, 2009 at 12:24 AM

PastormacsAnn said...: Great photos! The caption on the last one made me smile - it fits the photo so well.

It's hard work jumping rope - no wonder he's in such good shape.

Nice picks for The Hunt!; March 29, 2009 at 8:03 AM
girasoli said...: Fun take on hands. I used to love to jump rope as a child.; March 29, 2009 at 1:10 PM
María I. said...: Great choice, Leslie! I'm going to borrow your perfect phrase.

The lace shop is called Emilia and it is very close to the main church in Burano and to the Lace Museum. They have a showroom/museum on the second floor. Your amethyst pashmina must be really lovely and a great reminder of the beauty of Burano.

Happy Sunday!; March 30, 2009 at 4:28 AM
