Autumn

The season change to Autumn has brought with it rain and the promise of more. I awoke in the early hours to the sound of it and lots of it. After a three hour intermission it has returned. A happy Easter has passed and somewhere in between the many festive activities the children made some quiet time for a spell of egg blowing and painting. The making of these colourful eggs is a favourite ritual and one that my older child now takes responsibility for organising and showing our younger one. Each year we add the new offerings to the previous years.

Julie your photos are beautiful. I especially like the 'small on yellow', the bowl of coloured eggs and the botanical park at the pond. Will visit your blog often. The rain has been a lovely refresher and I look forward to more - I wanna hear rain gurgling in gutters, hear water running in creeks and see the mist on the hills!

Thankyou Julie for reminding me of the beauty in simple details and warm peaceful moments. I think we can often let these things slide by us in our quest to acheive more outward and material things. Looking at the world through childrens eyes brings us back to awe and adventure. You are very clever. Love Suzi
