@Laura - certainly makes you stop feeling lazy when you see what is possible!
OMG - She's amazing!
Thanks for sharing this inspiration at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/11/basilica-shrine-of-saint-mary.html
Wow, how fantastic that these women still have the stamina and moxie to get out there and do it! Why doesn't Nike feature women like this? Brooke @ outandaboutglobal
@NC Sue - absolutely! When I looked at the stretch image I couldn't believe it :)
@Brooke Neal - that is a very good question! Older women are such an inspiration, and from a business point of view they have the money that teens don't. We should tell them!
I never knew a photographer was focusing on older female athletes until I saw this here. What a magnificent theme! A variety of emotions in the shots, too!
Geez, I'm just a few years away from her focus...
@Snowcatcher - They're fascinating shots right? Well, you're a good bit off but who knows, could be a great topic for your own work? :)
