The Theme Day for April is 'water'. The photo I've selected was a fun one to take. That is my son jumping into the water. He was jumping off of a rock into one of the lakes in the BWCA. The height from the rock to the water was about three to four feet. This gave me a great vantage point to take this shot. I believe this was my sixth attempt to get the capture I was looking for. My son was more than willing to jump into the water, wouldn't you if you were nine years old?
There are many more cities participating in today's theme day photo. Please stop by their photo sites and say hello. Let them know that Slinger from Twin Cities Daily Photo sent you. Do give everyone around the world a chance for their timezones differences to see all of the city photos.

Excellent Photo!
ReplyDeleteMy 9 yr. old son also loves the water. Lakes, pools, ponds.... it doesn't matter - he loves them all (I think Grandpa and Grandma's lake in Northern MN is his favorite though).
Awesome photo!! I love the freeze-frame feel of it.
ReplyDeletePerfect shot. And the color of the water is wonderful. Very neat.
ReplyDeleteHappy theme day.
Awesome shot. Fabulous photograph of a fabulous moment.
ReplyDeleteYes, looks like the 2 of you had fun.

ReplyDeleteGreat shot. Lovely blue water with your son's splash. Perfect timing too.

A willing subject makes it so much easier! Beautiful shot!

Wow! Look at the crater he creates ;-)
ReplyDeleteSuper action shot!
Cheers to your son! What a trooper...I guess all relatives of a photographer have to have patience, courage, and great smiles.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot - definitely a great entry for today's theme!
ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS PIC!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAs a mom of 3 boys I appreciate the "fun" of the moment. Come on by cypressdailyphoto. I'm back and going full steam!

ReplyDeleteLove the photo. It looks like fun and the promise of better weather to come. Great choice.
ReplyDeleteGreat stopped action photo that brought a smile to my face. How to take advantage of your natural resources for theme day . . .well done!
ReplyDeleteA family picture that we can enjoy!! beautiful.
ReplyDeleteA great capture, what a fun shot! And the water is so clear, not the typical root beer color in many of the BWCA lakes.
ReplyDeleteAgree! What a fun shot! I can hear splash sound. Did he try jump in to the water on his back, so we can see his expression? Either way I can see you and your son had a very good time together.
ReplyDeleteAmazing shot. What action!
ReplyDeletehaha...what a hoot....he certainly looks like he is having fun.....I have almost made it through the list of theme day...I have seen you at just about every one...so for that...I am impressed....I love to see all the photos and I really feel I should try to visit them all...which is why I am still at on Friday evening....but the end is near. I will tell them You send your regards. Is it close to spring by you? not here yet...sigh.
