I don’t have very many jumping shots. But this one came to mind. It’s a little unconventional for a submission to I Heart Faces’ Week 10 – “Jump For Joy!” Photo Challenge, but the back story explains it, I think!

This was taken in 2008 during the Perilous Plunge in Eureka, CA. Community members dress up in teams and JUMP into the freezing Humboldt Bay to raise money for the Discovery Museum, which is a great marine educational resource for local children.

The Perilous Plunge is their yearly fundraiser – and a HUGE hit.

Be sure to head on over to www.iheartfaces.com to check out all of the beautiful face entries this week!

    Snow White is very brave! I don’t think I’d have it in me to plunge into freezing water. Wonderful capture!
