Life has been rather serious. Doing lots of things that require focus. Proof-reading, editing, planning, teaching preparation, organising. It's time to play.
The karo flowers, with their deep red curling petals, are dropping everywhere. What would they look like on the green moss down by the beach. Ouch. It's quite a contrast.
'I'll be the collector and you can be the put-ter,' she says. And so together we make magic on the sand.

The colour of those leaves is so vibrant and it certainly does look like Spring has arrived in your part of the world. Great images xx
What a joy it is to watch you and Mira in nature's playground! I love what you did together with those vibrant leaves - and I love the colors of your little helper's outfit, Juliet. Enjoy!
Charlie, the leaves are certainly bright and cheerful. Yes, spring is here.
Penny, my little helper's colours are lovely, aren't they, and it's a pleasure to have warmer weather so that we can play outside again.
Thank you, Charlier and Penny.

Hi Cecilia, My blog hasn't been so constant lately, as I'm proof-reading 5 books (for digital conversion) and publishing another, so I'm glad I sent the invitation and that you responded. And that you enjoyed the post. Thanks for visiting.

Hi Max, I discovered Andy Goldsworthy many years after I'd been already doing this kind of beach play, and felt very inspired to see how far he takes it. Thank you, it was fun, and a little taste of spring as well.

I posted this on my blog last night via Quoteflections. It came to mind as I read your beautiful post here Juliet. Thank you.
Hi Juliet - what a great story line - wonderful how the little ones work their own magic with words and ideas .. and I love your leaves and the star-sun burst ...
What a lovely break you're both having ...
Cheers Hilary
Joan, thank you for this beautiful quote. My little beach fairy certainly keeps my sense of wonder alive. Thank you for visiting.
Hilary, it is a world of magic with this little one, that's for sure, and I'm glad you like the star-sun burst (thank you, I wasn't sure what to call it and you've given me the perfect name)
