Jump…
Good Monday Morning! I have to say I’m feeling worded out after my lengthy post on Saturday. Do I hear a collective sigh of relief? It has occurred to me that blogging is a little like standing on the podium accepting an award. With each post I publish, I get to ramble on, seemingly without end, about pretty much anything I want; as long as it’s about me. And just like watching the Oscars; you can tune me out as you please, switching channels to a more interesting blog with the click of a mouse.
Today, I’m attempting to hold your interest with a demonstration of my superb flailing in the air skills. My type one nature {It’s Just My Nature! by Carol Tuttle} is not particularly well suited to static poses. When I review my photos, usually half of them are some kind of blur. I try, I really try, to stand still, and with practice I am getting better…but at the same time I find myself getting braver about showing you the real me on this little blog. So yes, there will be more dynamic photos in the future. Anyways, the impetus for all this air time, is my fringed booties. I get such a silly joy of out each step I take; the fringes sashaying along with me. These little boots are what’s going to get me through this remaining month of winter weather! Well, that and polka dots, and my leaping kitty brooch.
All photos snapped locally. I had to immortalize my first flower sighting of the year and the mister and I also had the good luck to see three bald eagles hanging out at the beach.
A big thank you to everyone for checking out my little jewelry DIY earlier this week.

Sue, I love your photos and you are so full of life and vibrancy this Monday morning. The polka dot scarf with the stripped shirt is a winner!
I love these photos! That scarf with the top is a great lesson in compatible contrasts (I just made that up!). Fun booties, fun beach, and snowdrops! Yay, spring is coming!
Fringed booties and flying make for a wonderful post, Sue – you look “real” and fabulous. Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday : >
I think this is the best one yet. Your photos are fabulous. Hats off to the photographer.
Please don't stand still, Sue. The photos are amazing, you are amazing. I love how you celebrate the start of spring. These booties are fantastic, I can understand how they help you through winter.
I envy you living so close to the sea!
OMG, this is awesome! I LOVE the flying through the air!! I wish I felt like that in life. Free and flying. so great.
xo,
Alyssa

You get me everytime!
Love those booties, perfect for the rest of your winter, us will last a little longer than yours
Yes i noticed the pin right away, so cute, so you!
Non static pics are so great! but you need someone to take the pics, so hard with a tripod and remote!

Sue, your pictures are so vibrant and interesting. I was looking at them thinking if I jumped like that I'd fall and kill myself! I think my nature is much more still than yours. Those booties are enough to make anyone jump for joy though. Really fun. Chic outfit and one that would be my style too.
great photos…. gymnastic time again!!!!
Such fun photos! I saw my first flower recently too, it made me so happy! Hopefully spring is on its way ASAP.

You look so happy frolicking on the beach, Sue! I love your pop of orange and the fringed booties rock. And the kitty pin is so sweet. Xo
Lively start to the week. The orange scarf is a lovely touch & I like your boots a lot.
So gorgeous Sue.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love your action shots! And that orange scarf looks great against the navy. Nice meeting you! Debbie
What great jumping skills! 🙂
I love a blazer with a striped shirt. That's a great addition of color with the scarf. Those little moccasin booties are too cute.
I love this … you are fun and full of life!!!!!

LOL, it does sound funny, now that you mention it.
Loving those booties! The fringe is so cute.
Isn’t That Charming.
I love the outfit (those fringe boots!!!) and I love your photos! You look happy, carefree and fun! Thank you for linking up!
These pictures are amazing – I love that you are having so much fun! You thrifted so many great items – I think it's best when you can't tell if something is thrifted. I seriously thought these were all new pieces 🙂
Hi Sue,
What a fun post-love it! Thanks for stopping by and your nice comment.
Love your energy-I'm now following! Have a great rest of the week.

That brooch is so cute! I love it!
Really like the colour of your scarf too.
I am so jealous you have snowdrops. We just have lots of snow : (

Sue, this post made my basically crappy day so much better. Your posts always make me smile. This outfit can take you so many places, and I'm inspired by your print mixing … got a polka-dot and stripe duo to show off very soon, in part because of your recent pics!
I have posts all over for you … check mail when the spirit moves or time permits!
Hugs,
J
I love your pattern mixing, and those shoes are SO cute!

I am an utter failure with jumping shots. Good work!
It's kind of a luck thing, these shots!
Thanks Annie! You will find I have a thing for shoes.
Hugs back at ya Jan!
I know, I am very grateful for the fact that we do Not have snow. It is possible that we might get a snow before spring, but unlikely, which is all good for me.
Hi Lynn…thank you so much for following and taking the time to comment. I look forward to seeing you more!
Aw, thank you Franziska! I felt particularly lucky with the jeans. They still have that nice dark wash, and felt new when I bought them.
Hi Wendy, I look forward to linking up again. Thanks for sharing Florida with us.
thanks for stopping by my blog from the marion berry link up
love your non static poses and your joie de vivre !
Sue, this entire post just makes me smile. So much fun observing (through your photos) you, being you. Love the leaping, what great energy you have. This outfit has two of my most favorite items, navy with orange and stripes with polka dots. Well done!
So pretty, Sue! I just love these colors together and the prints too. Your pics are so cute this week, your fun personality shines through them.
Beautiful and joyful photos. Your blog is a pleasure and your vivacious personality is clearly reflected in your words and images.
Fabulous flailing!! Got my attention. And your nature shots are great, so exciting seeing bald headed eagles. I remember seeing some on a trip to Alaska. For us Ozzies the bald headed eagles is iconically American. I believe it is not always that easy to see them though so I feel very priveledged. Have a great day!
Lovely boots! I host a style link party every Monday and would love for you to join! http://fashionsgreatesthits.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-first-ever-my-style-monday.html
