52 - week 40 - exploration

This week's project 52 theme is "exploration." When I think of the word it's so magical and imaginative - taking a walk through the forest photographing whatever speaks to me, navigating far off lands, new towns, sights & sounds. It's just so VAST and big! So it's so FASCINATING to me that for my 21 month old - all of that magic and wonder is right outside our front door. On our humble little street, with no bells, no whistles, just a small stretch of sidewalk. I open our front door and let him "free" and he hoots and hollers and shrieks. "A cloud! A car! The grass! Bubbles!!!!" It is so insane to me that his little face lights up at what I find quite unimpressive and ugly most of the time. But to him it's a huge new world - every bird, pebble, acorn and blade of grass is new and exciting. I love seeing the world through his eyes and hope his positive spirit rubs off on me. :)
