As a lover of photography and a slight obsessive memory maker I take so many photographs. I have a computer and external hardrive absolutely full of photos of my little ladies which I love but to be honest I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to writing. There is usually a story to be told and it takes me far too long to write a post that so many photos don’t get shared and suddenly a week, or a month has gone by and my little ladies have grown and changed in an instant.
So I thought I would start something a bit different for me and I am excited about joining in with Donna over at What the Redhead said for Living Arrows which is all about capturing childhood. I will share a photo or two from our week to capture that moment, to actually see the little changes in my two and to let the photos speak (mostly) for themselves.
These were taken on Saturday as we enjoyed the sunshine and the milder weather at some gardens just a few minutes from our house. The children love it there and it is definitely our go to place. They know it so well that they just run around like it is home, each year a whole row of beautiful daffodils appear and it is a real spectacle to see. Although they are not all quite out yet they loved to run in and out exploring and Eva decided to hang from a tree, she was so happy and giddy that she was up and down over and over again like she was high in the sky, rather than pretty much touching the floor with her legs straight!
what gorgeous pictures!! I’m snap happy too and am so terrified of losing them. Thank goodness for the cloud!
I live in fear of everything crashing!
Your littlest looks so cute and determined on her scooter but that photo of your eldest hanging from the tree, is just gorgeous. I might have to try and recreate it for myself! #livingarrows
It’s so funny isn’t it that the most impromptu moments are often the cutest to capture x
I love that photo of Eva, so much fun and what childhood should be all about. x #LivingArrows
Thank you I am going to frame that one for the playroom I think x
Oh they’re gorgeous photos. I love the one of your eldest hanging from the tree with all the daffodils underneath her. So beautiful #livingarrows x
thank you x
They’re lovely photos. The one of Eva on the tree with the daffs under her is just gorgeous. #livingarrows
Thank you x
Spotted the tree photo on IG, and love it. So beautiful with the carpet of yellow daffodils. #livingarrows
Thank you you can’t beat a carpet of daffodils can you?
What a gorgeous photo of Eva hanging from the tree – so lovely! Roma looks like she is having fun on her scooter!
Thank you x
Amazing photo’s, you certainly are talented ! The best thing about taking lots of photo’s is that you capture the children’s different personalities and you have certainly done that here. #LivingArrows
That i such a nice thing to say thank you x
I absolutely love that tree photo – perfect childhood moment! #LivingArrows
Thank you I think I might even get that one framed!
Love the photo of Eva swinging on the tree – brilliant! Love how her tights match the daffodils! We are all about the scooters in this house at the moment too xx
I think the scooter may well be her firm favourite x
Aw she looks adorable with the scooter and the helmet. #livingarrows
She does absolutely love it but is still a little small for the helmet bless her and it just keeps falling down!
That photo of Eva looks like something our of a fairytale. The colours and light are just beautiful – and it’s a pose just so symbolic of childhood. Love Roma on her scooter too! x
Ah such a lovely thing to say Donna thank you, I think this will be a framer in the playroom for sure x
Love that photo of Eva, pure joy on her face! And the picture of Roma on her scooter reminds me so much of my own daughter, whizzing around the park on hers! x #LivingArrows
It’s so rare to get a natural joy shot of Eva now she is 6 that I treasure each one x
I’m absolutely the same as you. I have had to order another drive to store them all! My husband thinks I’m mad. I think it’s great and I love it. Love the photo of Eva swinging from the trees. She is so happy 🙂 x #livingarrows
I have done the same and I am so scared of losing them.
I am completely the same and trying not to be a perfectionist each week with this tag. I must say I same really loving it. The photo Eva it’s fantastic. Monkey is also a bit scooter obsessed! Look forward to seeing your post next week x #Livingarrows
It is hard isn’t it when you want to write so much and there is no time! I am already loving this though as photography is a real passion and it is making me want to get the camera out more just because x
What a lovely photo, she looks like she’s having fun hanging from the tree! And the perfect reason to link up. Like you I have a camera, phone and external hard drive full of photos, its so lovely to share and recall the memory. If you’re looking for more places to share your adventures I run a monthly link up (#MyFamilyAdventures) where you pull a post together of your adventures in the month, or just link a post previously written. I’d love to have you join in x
ah thanks Kerri-Ann, when i get my act together blog wise I will look at linking up x
I am exactly the same when it comes to photos and videos – it’s one of the main reasons I love blogging / vlogging so much! What gorgeous captures.. i cannot wait until Spring fully arrives xx
Yes me too especially vlogging right now as I realise how little of that we have from when either were babies! x
So lovely to see you joining in! I adore these photos, that one of her hanging from the tree is just gorgeous x #livingarrows
Thank you lovely it is nice to do something a little different for me that still stays close to my passion x
