Jumping for Joy/ Watery Wednesday

Falling into the Talbot River, Ontario

He looked like he was trying to fly but couldn't get any lift. It was a long way down!

 Swimming to shore so they could jump again

To jump and swim, three boys had ridden their bikes to the top of the bridge I was standing on. They were having a great time and were delighted I had my camera to document their bravery. 

Even though I was using my telephoto lens, the boys still appeared to be a long way down.

    Great shots of summer fun. That takes me back to my childhood. We used to jump off a bridge into the Neuse River on the coast, although we weren't supposed to do it. No one ever got hurt.

    I wonder how cold the water was? I'd like to swim there, but I don't think I'd like to jump into the water from a great height. Too much water would go up my nose!

    In your first photo it looks as if the boy is jumping forever. I was going to say falling but he is actively engaged. Great fun on a warm day!
    I love the harvesters in your previous post. Those machines look fearsome but the people who designed them have a wonderful understanding of the requirements.
