Nature Treasure Boxes

O's decorated treasure box.

An adventure to our friend's lovely wood to fill it, with things from nature ( mmm orange is abit doubtful ! ) matching up the colours painted at the bottom of each section.

Leaves, berries, wild plums ... the wood was a larder of treasures.

We looked at soft and hard, smooth and spikey.

O at nearly 3, loved this activity, chasing round the wood to find his goodies, so very proud when he had found all the sections.

Inspired by the lovely Kelly and her boys http://freeflowingways.blogspot.com/

Dish Washing Delights

Freshly picked from the garden.

Sat, brightening up my draining board, while I wash the dishes.

Waiting to be re-homed to another part of the house.

To admire their simple elegance.

To catch a hint of their stunning perfume.

To delight in their beauty.

at The Beach

A day at the beach with friends, cloudy, alittle chilly with sudden bursts of sunshine, a typical English Summer Day.

Then rain, lots of rain, quick dashes to the cars, gathering up children, buckets, spades, picnics and rugs on the way.

So, off for fish and chips in a cafe, followed by ice-creams on the front, when the sun reappeared.

Summer Sunsets

A vision of light , colour and darkness.

A delight for the senses.

A time to stop, be still and wonder.

A goodnight from the Earth.

A promise to return.

Working at The Car Wash

You might not ever get rich.
