I'm disappointed I couldn't hold my camera more steady - the frost created delicate, magical edging on the lawn's grass and leaf shapes, just waiting to sparkle at sunrise

Description on Vimeo: "Shot in Fire Island, New York, this film (4min. 23 sec) captures the secrets of eternal youth as Maia Helles, a Russian ballet dancer turns 95 but still remains resolutely independent, healthy and as fit as a forty year old. Made by Julia Warr, artist and film maker met Maia on a plane 4 years ago and became utterly convinced by the benefits of her daily exercise routine, which Maia perfected, together with her Mother, over 60 years ago, long before exercise classes were ever invented."

We're getting older, the world's getting colder
For the life of me I don't know the reason why
Maybe it's livin'
Making us give in...
