11/23/2013 Before My Dip

Before My Dip  Several folks would like to know where I took my “dip” into  Hyalite Creek.  This image was captured just before the dip.  I wanted to get a lower angle so I made my way to the edge of the water, stepped onto a couple of rocks in the stream, put my tripod into the water, and was about to hit the shutter when my right boot slipped.  I went into a foot or so of water getting boots, socks, and pants wet up to my rear.  Yeah, a good slip it was.  Actually, it was my second slip into the creek.  Three years ago, about the same time of year, I slipped into the creek, down stream a bit,  attempting to do the same thing.  For some odd reason, I have captured some of my best images while getting wet from water or snow.
