playing in mud puddles

Holding...

 

 

I'm not around as much lately.

Both here and at home.

Funny then, to be photographing shadows.

While we all adjust to mum being out of the house a bit more, we are enjoying our time together.

Seizing moments.

Bites of time.

Still.

 

And, in learning to maximize our time together, I feel the joy, appreciation and fun remains.

Making time to play a family game or read a story.

Sit down together.

Laugh. Hug. Hug again.

Being mindful to really listen.

It's not as organic as I thought parenthood was supposed to be, but it's still a little bit special. 

In making a bit more effort, these moments are savoured (and I don't think just by me).

 

 

How many?

 

 

It seems that quite often, after an extended visit to the swimming pool, there is an overwhelming need to see how many can squeeze into a warm bath.

This act is especially necessary if friends are over.

We have a small bath that easily reached capacity today.

Hope you did something that brought a smile to your face today...

Driving home

Captured this moment on the way home the other night.

Thought you might enjoy it just as much as I did.

It's funny how we can pass by the same places time and time again.

And then, suddenly, that same place makes an instant impact.

Forcing you to stop.

Notice.

Take a picture.

Smile.

 

Yummo

Popped by my lovely friend's place today.

She had rearranged her verandah.

And, well, it is, quite frankly, a feast for the eyes.

Have a look...

Pure pleasure.

Isn't it grand!

 

I just love the colour and vibrancy. Obviously a very clever mate. Don't you think?

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did...

Here's to a little extra sparkle in your weekend!

Seen...

Was walking about in Brisbane and came upon this scene...

Pretty cool.
