For me, the most magical moments with Kz are the ones that I don't plan. Don't get me wrong, I am trilled when Kz is engaged in an activity I've created for him. I love to watch him learn, discover and problem solve. But there is something special about the learning and growth that takes place more organically. The first time you see your shadow, the sound of the rustling leaves in the trees, the sparkling reflection of the sun on the water... these moments are the most magical.
I searched the depths of my photo library and found so many snapshots of wonder, joy, laughter, and love. It was hard to choose the most magical of them all, but here were a few that sparked an instant smile.
Watching a flock of birds swirl above the river and quacking at the ducks as they swim by...
Exchanging treasures on an outdoor adventure...
Watching dandelion seeds float on the breeze...
Experiencing sheer joy as the wind hits your face...
Being a fly on the wall to the depths of the unknown..
Learning about family and the power of tradition through awe-inspiring candlelight...
Curious fascination in the things we see each day...
Saying hello to new friends...
And showing love to old friends...
Take a trip down memory lane by looking through your old photos. I'll
bet you have a zillion magic moments, waiting to be remembered.

This is beautiful! I love how you were able to capture a moment in a picture as well.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of searching for magic moments through our "archives". I definitely agree that the most precious moments are those that are unplanned! I enjoyed your beautiful photos, especially the shadow one - adorable!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I love the dandelion one, my kids when they were little were so fascinated by them :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann! They really are fascinating and the best part is, you don't really want them in your yard so it's Ok to pick them! haha. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. Krissy
