The Gallery: Mother Nature's Stark Contrast.

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.

The contrast of nature: Full or Bare

Look at that leaf, said JJ

An icy snake, said Miss M

An amazing sky, thought Mummy

Nice red berries, said Miss E

New life, thought Mummy  (Spring is coming...)
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!
