All the things...

Spinning by the water in the afternoon light with a streaming rainbow ribbon.....squeals, laughter and running....
Stopping after a tumble to just quietly lie and watch a plane fly overhead, and probably muse for a tiny moment as to just what it is in that vast expanse of sky.....
Sunset skimming over shining ripples.....Ending in dusk falling over our cityscape....
Sizzling sausages under looming rock....the contrast directly from river to cliffs.
Sharing our plenty with someone a little needier than us....the contrast of our bounty and those with less....the similarities of both in the smiles of the exchange. Picnic dinner views and dazzling lights.... making our entertainment from it's display. Good company, family, familiarity.
Wildness, bare feet, sparkles and glittering fire lights in the darkness.....Asleep in the backseat well before turning into home....slipping into pyjama's and weary heads snuggled swiftly into pillows. Deep satisfying childhood slumber.

These things. Places, faces, food and fun. All the things that make up memories of childhood and family....those things reminiscent of my childhood..... all the things that are now for us so easy, pleasurable and natural to provide for our own children.
