Fourth Of July Party

We had a ton of friends over for a pool party yesterday. Our friend's children have children of their own. "How quickly they grow up," has moved on to the next generation. I walked around with my camera, using a 35mm fixed focal length lens to capture a few moments. A little over 300 of them, not all of them useable. Getting in close to the little ones involved aiming the camera without using the viewfinder. I tend to shoot low so the rule for me is to hold the camera to where it feels right and them aim higher.

The young ones played for hours. No doubt they slept good last night. And today they're probably sharing tales of derring-do...

 ...coming off the slide...

 ...and knifing into the water.

 Being tossed up in the air...

 ...to incredible heights.

 Little kids...

 ...and big kids...

 ...enjoying the moment...

 ...or taking a dare...

 ...or trusting this is a good idea.

 Contentment in the center...

 ...of their own universe.

Life is good.
