Winter walks

I love going for walks to the beach in winter.
In the cool fresh sea air.
Wrapped up warm.
It feels so peaceful.







Liam loves finding treasures. That's what it's all about for him.


-
He piles up as many things as possible onto and into the pushchair.



Look another stick to take home mum!
-
-
I have to do a bit of gentle discouraging for some things. Like stinky wet seaweed.
Or REALLY big sticks. Otherwise it can get kind of out of control.

-
The sea air put Isla to sleep. She has had a nasty nasty tummy bug that has really knocked her. Poor wee thing.


-
This is the pushchair pocket collection. The big sticks are in the front garden.
"Deese my treasures mum."



These are what came home in my pocket. I can't help picking up pohutakawa leaves.
I'm always amazed at how beautiful each one is.
(hmm maybe Liam gets his treasure gathering tendencies from me).

Stinky wet seaweed is good for citrus trees. Although I don't think you're supposed to collect it in buckets like we do. Sshhh!

The top picture looks so much like French Bay beach-near Titirangi, where I grew up.

Makes me feel like I'm not missing out on too much time with my sweet & lovely little neice & nephew.
I can just hear Liam, talking about his treasures.

How beautiful. So many lovely treasures found. I'm a gatherer of leaves too. I can't wait for autumn to come back around here. :)

I love this--my sister and her tiny people love to collect stuff, and it turns into the most interesting little bits of art...
