October Sun

It's got to the time of year when the kids (and other brave nutters) decide to bare their legs in shorts again. I am not one of these people. It has to be at least in the early 20s for me to consider exposing my white tree trunks.


The girls insisted on wearing their short shorts to Queen Elizabeth Park this weekend to walk the dog. They were bribed by the promise of lunch out.


They have both reached the age where we are beginning to have to use bribery to get them to spend any time with us. I guess it was inevitable, and I can remember being the same with my parents. Nothing they did was ever right or cool enough. I am now habitually uncool.


It was a gorgeous day and this park never disappoints. There are always beautiful views and the light here is always bright and highlights the colours in the landscape.


The girls have been walking in this park since we first moved to NZ (almost 10 years ago now!). I am extremely grateful that they still come with us and appear to enjoy each others company and (hopefully) ours! :)
