(this moment) - watchtower

{this moment - Inspired by Soulemama. A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment.} 

(glimpses)- life under the sea and other adventures

over land and water this past week ..
 we happily say hello to summer from a mountain top...

and with an early summer's adventure watching the tide come in ...

we find ourselves walking the ocean floor ...

 

and then back again we travel with the outgoing tide ...

 

along the shore to place we now know and love ...

(at play) - stone flowers and great dinosaurs

I can not say how long visiting the "dinosaur museum" has been on my child's list ... Our days speed faster than we know as we all grow older with our children....

I love how summer's travels can lead us to unexpected places ....roads that lead us back to old friends  ...  friends from other times when we were just young ourselves ...

.... to stones that bloom eternally

 

 
.... and fragments that tell the story of what the hands of living and ancient people once did

 ... life frozen still behind glass

and great dinosaurs in many shapes and sizes...

A young child turns her attention to the details of knowing , she takes notes and pictures ... and dreams her dreams of ancient worlds...

Hope your summer travels have taken you to places still unknown, old and new ...
