Fourth of July

Fourth of July. Yes, I captured these photographs sometime ago; I've said it once and I'll say it again, sometimes I hoard pictures. That' right. This was the first time I pulled out my Nikkormatt for about one year. For some reason I always want to photograph the Fourth. 

The water swirled about between the walls of the vast Rirey Reservoir. We rejoiced in its inviting coolness. Slap! And we laughed at those who received its unwelcoming hard side as they tumbled and splattered across its surface. This is summer, I thought.

We went bridge jumping this Week.

We jumped from the Plano / Hibbard Brdige, and plummeted into the warm waters of the Snake River. The last time I had an opportunity to jump from a Brdige (the Fourth of July) I turned it down. This time I accepted the challenge, or the temptation; the joy? 

Local people hung around all over the barrier. Some jumped from it. Some cursed. Some cursed. We didn't. Some apologized for us being from Rexburg. We didn't. 

Parker did a back flip. He did a back flip again. Then Jordan did a back flip. Joe thought about it. Parker and Jordan did a back flip together.

I photographed.
