Even though I captured this with my P&S, I had a feeling it just might become my Best Shot Monday choice. The photo was taken a week ago last weekend as Jody and the kids waded into the freezing cold (at least, in my opinion) water of the Boulder Creek. The kids didn’t mind the water temp one bit and Jody endured it, ‘cuz that’s what daddies do. These are the types of moments that I never want to forget.

Stumble it!

I’m so glad we have Daddies to go into freezing water of all kinds. That one deserves to be framed.

What a beautiful moment you captured….and so well, too, despite the PAS! Just goes to show it’s the photographer that matters, not the camera. ;o)

What a beautiful moment you have captured! Proves to show it is the photographer, not necessarily the camera that makes the shot! :D
