It's another Ultimate Monday, brought to you by ISO 1600! Well, at the last minute sort of. This week's game was originally rescheduled for 7:00 PM at a park closer north, but scheduling SNAFUs meant that the default time of 9:30 PM at Cherry Beach was the real deal.

Grumbling aside, some folks took time to toss around whilst we were at the park anyway. After a quick and small dinner, it was off to the waterfront. It was the Victoria Day weekend, which meant that celebrations and fireworks were happening. Cherry Beach was no different. Sadly, the contingent at the beach must've failed to fire off any impressive fireworks or didn't fire them above the treeline, it was nosier than it was visually appealing.

Really enjoyed shooting with two bodies at this particular game. Above is a shot of Danielle (#10) making a grab in the endzone for the Quick Dumpers' first point, which was loudly celebrated after and yielded repeated calls of "Did you get that?!" to yours truly. Thankfully, I did. The other team was quite the challenge though, and they played well at everything - running, throwing, and making monster grabs (see first photo).There was one less game today, which meant that there were six teams playing instead of the usual eight, making room for some sidelines from which I happily opted to shoot from rather than the endzone. All in all, another pretty good night.
By the time we left, the beats were still going, but the fireworks had long ceased.
