Trees in May are beautiful with the sun shinning
on their light dressing of fresh spring leaves...
.
it makes the tall graceful trees even more majestic....
.
and May brings large plumes of flowers to the Locust trees...
.
"all photos enlarge"and the promise of fruit on the blackberry bushes
that surround the field...
.
and sometimes what appears to be the sun...but
is just a strange hole in the sky...due to glare...
Tuesday was an especially nice warm breezy day...
perfect for taking a walk...
After her morning kindergarten class...
Alivia came down...
and that's exactly what we did.
With Alivia in the lead and me following...
on our path of sunshine!
She paused often with her walking stick in hand
to investigate the ground...
Where she found Beech tree seed capsules
and Wild Ginger blossoms
Other times found her looking skyward...
spotting birds...
and this small left over nest from last year.
The wild flowers sometimes caught her eye...
like the Fire Pink she is standing by...
and this "Doll's Eye" flower she was pointing to.
Later in the season Baneberry changes to smallwhite balls with black centers...hence the nick name.
But mainly we walked.....with her leading
But mainly we walked.....with her leading
and me following.
.
We
walked
and
walked
and
she would turn occasionally...
to make sure that I....was still there.
.
We discovered a gaping hole in the back of a tree ...
Being at the edge of a steep hill...
it had been overlooked...
until now!
.
On closer inspection...these sad eyes appeared
But we saw happier things...
Scooby Doo is still doing fair...
along with this heart shape found there.
So our walk ended with her leading.....

where earlier we had enjoyed a picnic lunch
She was a happy girl!
I'll tell you about our Treasure Hunt another time!
where earlier we had enjoyed a picnic lunch
of tiny chicken salad sandwiches...
a hard-boiled egg and baby carrots...
with mandarin oranges for dessert!

Wanda you are building some truly great memories for Alivia. It reminds me of all the special things my grandmother did with me. And I love the part where Alivia would occasionally check to see if you were still there, how sweet!
I love the song on your blog today...Better When We're Together...funny how some songs are so fitting.
Spending time with your grandaughter Alivia, is so precious, what a blessing!
Once again, I don't have words to express the beauty of your walk! What a wonderful Grandma Day! It is so great how you are leading your grandkids into the wonder of natural beauty! Blessings!
Thank you for sharing your walk with your Granddaughter, I felt like I was right there with you. Beautiful!
I want to take a walk with you and Alivia! I love May and early June light - it seems so filtered and forgiving. ANd then it returns in October.
Wanda, I so enjoy your Tuesdays with Alivia blogs. She is so sweet, love the photos and enjoyed spending time with you both. I can almost feel and hear my feet crunch as I walk along the path with you. Have a wonderful day my friend..........:-) Hugs
The acorn doesn't fall very far from the tree, does it? What a darling granddaughter you have! I was wondering if she had a camera in that bag? :)
Hello Wanda,
Alivia looks like some exotic wildflower herself in her pretty pink dress. It's wonderful that she also sees shapes in the trees. She seems to know to look up, down, and all around...just like Grandma. I'll soon be with my Grandchildren - they'll be meeting us in Aspen this weekend. Your photographs are beautiful.
This is precious.
Ladybugs bring good luck too. We love them both!
hey
Alivia looks like an angel :)a walk with u helps to make me relax
