The Gallery: Playtime
Posted under parenting, Photography
Tara’s theme this week is ‘Playtime’ which is a whole lot easier than previous Gallery themes. A quick trawl through my archive unearthed a million shots of the Megaboys in the park having a ball and yet, curiously, not one of me chewing my own arm off out of boredom. Curious, since that is how I spend pretty much every trip to the swings because….sssshhh….I absolutely HATE the swings and always have done. It’s my least favourite Mummy Chore I think. All that hanging around and ‘look at me!’ and ‘will you push me?’ blah blah. It’s better now that both boys can confidently climb up anything, but in that past there was that boring ‘hovering’ that had to be done in the hope of avoiding a trip to A&E.
A friend of mine with older children described to me, with great glee, the moment when her youngest learnt how to swing without help. She said it was like one of the Great Shackles of Parenthood being lifted from her shoulders. Roll on that day, I say.
I think my lack of love for the park shows in the way I process my swings shot. Kind of moody huh?
But, take me out of the park environment, and Playtime starts to look a whole lot more vibrant!
Wow what fab photo’s!
Wow! These are amazing photos of your children playing! Really love them!
Those are fabulous pictures. I keep saying I want to take my LO in a white sundress to the swings to get one of those swing pictures with her hair and dress flying in the wind as she swings.
BTW-do you not have a subscribe by email option on purpose?
Cute kids + talented mother with camera= gorgeous pictures
Oh I’m with you on the park thing! Much more fun when they are older and you can sit with a coffee and a book! Gorgeous photos, love the tin tray in the snow one!
Wow… wait til they’re six and nine and the park is lame… whoop whoop!!!!! i never admitted my loathing of the park before but now you have, I feel free!!!!

Amazing photos. I especially love the tray slide one! Oh, and I feel your pain on the swing front!

Beautiful photos… and beautiful boys :)
Can I ask what font you use for your sidebar heading? I absolutely love it (bit of a geek!)
Great photos (as always!) love the swing shots – did you use a filter or apply a tint afterwards? I long for the days when I can sit with the mums on the bench and just watch them play in the park, rather than having to join in!
What a cutie, stunning photos ;)
Oh, they are such stunning pictures – the first one is particularly cute!
