That Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze! by Weezilou

That Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze!

No other caption would do! Our youngest grandson (on this coast) saw a show and wanted to take lessons; we got to sit in on one of them! Climbing that ladder to get to the jumping-off platform would have been enough to exhaust me (!), but he took turns with only one other student, so he was active quite a lot of the time! There were some extensive warm ups before they even began, and there was a lot to learn before "just swinging away" up there! The instructors were both tall and lean and more compact and quite buff. so clearly this is serious body control and muscle building! While Dylan's older brother, Ashton, is a surfer and plays football and basketball, Dylan is drawn more to Taekwondo and now trapeze workouts! He'll be attending a week-long summer trapeze camp as his brother has attended surf camp in years past! I love that they won't be "bored"! No time for that!!!

(I didn't crop this photo as I felt that all the space around him best depicted the need to be fearless!!!)
Wow, way to go, kid! Fantastic

Wow I am so impressed by Dylan’s exploits! So brave - such fun!

He seems pretty fearless.

I agree with your choice not to crop. Trapeze is about flying through the air and you need some air in the photo.

@jamibann @koalagardens I love that you joined in singing along! Isn't the end of that chorus, "But my love he has stolen away..." ? No time for the present to leave comments and linger, but it had to be said that those comments were fun!
