As the current year comes to a close...


Tonight as the current year comes to a close, and the New Year waits at the edge of darkness may these words from To Write Love On Her Arms offer you hope for a new day…



twloha:
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.

The ball drops and fireworks. Resolutions are made.
People scream and people kiss and is it possible to change?
Is it really truly possible to leave the past behind?

Welcome to Midnight.

Another year comes to a close. Another year begins.
With a moment...

Aerial Silk



Jewella Deville
Fall is finally here in SoCal.   It's cold now, but just a month ago it was still summer.   October found me at the Roller Derby with my girl, and teammates watching a really good 'Screamage'.  Here are some photos of the event...

 Derby is a very fun and exciting sport.  Challenging and exhausting to learn.  This scrimmage I sat out and played photographer.

Come the spring though I plan on joining my fellow teammates out there on the track.    This is why I have taken up Aerial Silk acrobatics to build strength.  So much fun too!  Here I am sliding down the ribbons gracefully.



This is harder than it looks.  I of course am a natural at it.  I know I make it look easy...



and practicing in a  very large pointe shoe...





         
I think this must be the worlds largest pair of pointe shioes, they had them on display... so I posed for a picture.

















I know.  It's no derby skating.   But it's been a whole lot of fun!
