Freshwater

It happens every year. The temperature drops in the city and I hole up in my apartment lamenting the glorious days of summer and combing my drives for cliff jumps, ropeswings, and waterfall slides. This is a companion piece to my Saltwater set. Both of which I can’t wait to relive when the days get longer and the weekends more meaningful.
