Throwback Thursday circa 1998

Time for a little blast from my past…

What else are you supposed to do when presented with a gorgeous backdrop like this?

This picture was taken in the height of my ballerina phase. Look at the turnout of my toe, my erect posture, and my hand gracefully suspended midair. Most of all, notice the ease with which I strike this pose.

I wish I still had that turnout…but times have changed!

Challenge to my readers: if you send me a picture of yourself striking this or another ballet pose in front of nature scenery, I will send you a prize and share your photo here. Send your pics to whitney at whitswilderness.com.
