I really wanted to join in with the gallery this week and the theme of Mother Nature is a fine one; at first I thought of the miracle of carrying a baby and the
stupidly enormous tummy I had when I was pregnant with the twins. Then I realised I could grab dh's new point and click camera and take a walk and really enjoy what I saw.
So this morning on the way to school we left extra time and I asked the kids to help me look for really interesting things on the journey. I think we did well. I am pretty pleased with the pictures. You all know I am a happy snapper and no more but dh's camera did good! Well done Canon. Also, a big thank you to Tara for helping the kids and I to pause and enjoy the beauty around us.

Of course my pictures pale into insignificance when you take a look at Trish's. Go take a look and share some love with this great new blogger who has had a hell of a couple of weeks!
