Weekend 1440 Project – Jump for Joy

What happens when your excitement, passion and enthusiasm for being outside can’t be contained? You jump for joy.

Sometimes it’s an off-balanced, ill-timed, group photo attempt or it might be a sunset, silhouette, solo-mission. These jumps aren’t about setting Olympic vertical leap records; they’re purely about the fun of the moment.

We’ve always loved a good “jump for joy” shot. For that reason, we think you’ll enjoy these photos our Instagram community shared with us in this “Jump for Joy” edition of the Weekend Project.
