It's funny how an image like this has such a timeless quality. I took this picture of Milla's feet as she was paddling down at the river that runs through our village.
When I picked up the processed photos (you know how it is, you can't wait to get back in the car and rip the packet open!) I had this really sudden rush of happy memories of my own childhood flooding back. Despite the fact that I grew up in a city, in England, ahem, many years ago, it just reminded me so much of how me, my 2 brothers and 1 of my sisters (sorry but the other one was to old and teenager-ish to be bothered with us!) would go down to the stream and spend many a happy afternoon paddling and fishing with our nets for minnows and sticklebacks. No grown-ups, no-one to spoil our fun, not a worry in the world.
The only reason to come home was hunger!
It's worth mentioning that that this photograph is available now as a limited edition print in both my etsy and dawanda shops. Click on the links on the left to take you there, or go to my black-eyed angel shop
