DC Polar Bear Plunge 2014 by JY O'Reilly
DC Polar Bear Plunge 2014 by JY O’Reilly

It is so cold that even the sun is freezing her buns off. Photographer JY O’Reilly caught a woman dressed as the sun taking a dip in the Potomac for the “Keep Winter Cold” Polar Bear Plunge. We hope the warm-themed outfit made the dip less treacherous.

"Stuffed" by JY O'Reilly
“Stuffed” by JY O’Reilly

The use of negative space and the unusual, mundane subject matter are what caught my eye as I scanned the Flickr pool. The way JY O’Reilly has caught the light falling on the piled up trash bags gives them an almost reverential quality.

"Untitled" by JY O'Reilly
“Untitled” by JY O’Reilly

Seeing this shot from JY O’Reilly in our Flickr pool this morning just made me smile. But it’s not only the humor of the person leaping that makes this photo — add the blocks of coordinated colors, the recurring geometric shapes and the great framing, and you’ve got yourself a winner.

I’m pretty sure I used to have nightmares that looked just like this. So thanks, JY O’Reilly, for warning me this exists so I can avoid a total freak-out when I next pay a visit to a county fair.
