climbing rocks

yesterday morning we were on the road by four thirty am, we'd be meeting a friend for some rock climbing. well, chuck and our good friend tony would be climbing, i would be happily watching from below.






























did you see the horse? isn't he gorgeous? he appeared in between the craggy rocks, posed for a photo and was gone again. we were gone too by eight am, chuck had to get to work to his day job on the beach. (this photo is almost exactly 13 years old, we had just met, me and my lifeguard.sigh. see hannah hiding under the tower? she's so little!)

    I love your old picture, and I guess to keep that shape, your hero has to DO something, like running along beaches and climbing boulders like that before dawn, (what ELSE does he do?) but to me that feels pretty darn MAD! Look at his knee! What all can HAPPEN! I would stand there, looking up screaming, a great nuisance. I admire you for being so calm, Lori. But of course you can be PROUD!
    Like he of you, sweets!

    Wow! Looks fun! I climbed a mountain once, but no rock climbing, it looks much harder.
    I love the horse and the photo of you and Chuck and Hannah. xoxo

    your lifeguard (how apt a title) is a true blue athlete and he is also a wonderful man. i am so glad to know how true this is.

    i don't know how this sport can be done without getting all kinds of scrapes. there is a little cut on chuck but it is so tiny.

    your photos as as ever magnificent, lori. you show the height so well i almost fell off the couch :^)

    i laughed at mim's comment since i was eating cupcakes with her :^)

    I love how connected Chuck is with the outdoors. He's a natural! And I covet those red climbing shoes :)

    The horse made me laugh because it was so incongruous with the climbing photos! It was a welcome surprise, and yes, he's a beauty!

    You and your lifeguard were destined to be at that spot thirteen years ago ;)

    Lo♥
