Trinity Lake, CA. 2006.
At the end of camp, the director takes all of the counselors out for a day of water fun. This year we went tubing on Trinity Lake, and had a party boat as well.
I took this towards the end of the day, as the awareness of the blunt end of summer crept into peoples' minds. Replays of fond memories and the rushed, happy making of plans continued as the sun eased back into afternoon. The silences between each cluster of conversation slowly stretched with the shadows. Eyes drifted outwards, away from the shared space on the boat, warm with familiarity, and cast themselves out over the calm green waters, and the quiet stillnesses hovering there.
