First spring story - discovery

Discovery it was, of spring at its very beginning. New bright colours appearing in the midst of still brown forest, and smells, trees and young leaves to touch. And run, run and feel the wind and sun in your face. Still cold, but undeniably brighter and well, springier :-).

Last days of autumn

Immagine
I know, it is Xmas time, so autumn photos are somewhat out of date. But I have some nice ones to share, and I had creative break to experiment with my photo editing, and work on some other photography projects. So I am sharing them now :). I had some ideas, the individuals involved had others. Sometimes I get carried away with my own ideas, which they did not want to do. I still need to remind myself to let go and let it be. I get nice stuff this way too, not what I wanted, but full of real emotions and laughter. These were made on one of the last warm autumn days, when rolling on the grass was still OK and leaves were down, but nice and dry and crunchy. Not dripping wet as we were hit by a rain season. So rolling in the leaves and grass we did. We have started in the park, where all the shouting, grass rolling, leaves throwing and laughing took place. Then we continued to the harbour, where we wanted to do some silhouette shots with Matteo. We piled up l...

At the harbor

Immagine
St Andrews has a harbor, and there is even a lighthouse. Not a large and fancy-looking one, it is more like a large torch, but it is there. We continued to East Sands beach and with its playground and nice green area for running and rolling in the grass. We found a dandelion, the poor thing has missed its season. Matteo had its way with it :-)

Puppet master story

Immagine
Once upon a time... This was a fairy tale story running in our house theater. And the prince was missing - what can we do without a prince? Who will be the hero, how should the story go? The villains we had, the beautiful princess too. The performance had to be saved, and puppet master had hard time. So - the princess went for a walk with a pirate, who left her in the middle of the jungle and she was nearly eaten by a tiger. The good monkey and elephant saved her, and they went to play together. The moral of the story? A good princess should not trust a pirate. And also monkey likes to be a hero sometimes :-)

About a bench

Immagine
Maya is a climber. There are very few safe surfaces which she did not manage to climb on yet in this house. Kitchen table - done. Beds - done a while ago, the only one remaining is high sleeper of Masha. She can do it, but with help. Sofa and armchair - peanuts. Sink in the bathroom - no problem. One of the latest climbing adventures is to go on the toilet, and then on top of the water container to flush the toilet. When she climbs somewhere and cannot get back down, she just shouts for somebody to come and rescue her. Life is that simple. This bench was a great change from the usual home climbing routine. She climbed up, sat down, stood up, looked around, went down. Then repeated. Like five times, and would've done more if I'd let her. As fun as it was, we had to go to school. Till next time, bench!
