Our View Trekking Back Home

This is the second installment in my picture series (finally!) This time I decided to focus on Will & Charlotte's eyes - this one was a little harder than the hands since I needed to really try to put myself in a place where I could imagine their perspective. At times I would lean down to try and see things from their point of view - which was really interesting ( I felt so small !)

We walked to Cashman Park (or as Will likes to call it - "Red Park") and along the way we talked about things that we could "see". We had a discussion about the fact that we use our eyes to look at the things around us. We stopped to take a closer look at some of the things we were seeing - flowers, trees, stop signs, the sun, animals, fire hydrants, houses, etc. We even talked about the colours and shapes of the things that we were looking at.

I tried my best to take photos of the things that Charlotte & Will mentioned seeing. It was really fun to see them explore, and to look at things with true wonderment. I felt as if everything was extra beautiful this day as I was able to look through their innocent eyes :)
