 beau taught himself how to do a backflip out of the swing. his asking me to take his picture doing it made my day.

here, he's coming out of his tuck, flashing me a grin before he sticks his landing ;-)

Wow, what a shot, perfect focus on his eyes, not to mention captureing him at the perfect moment. Great job!

perfect capture, skip! love how he is suspended in the upper part of the shot with that wonderful smiling face looking down at all us mere mortals who haven't learned to fly. thump him on the noggin for me and tell him i said, "knock it off". :)

seriously...he should be very proud of his accomplishment and i'll look forward to seeing him at future Olympics. :)

This is a fantastic shot! I am quite impressed with him too. How do you grin like that doing a backflip? Brilliant!
