I noticed that a recurrent theme in my photo journal this week was stillness and motion. For personal reasons it was a week alternating between silent contemplation and distracting myself by keeping busy.
My children’s first day of school was on Friday and so in the lead up to it we were very active. We visited the British Wildlife Centre, went on a naturalist hunt at the Ardingly Reservoir in West Sussex and wandered around a Biodynamic farm. And when we were not out and about I let them watch lots of films as once school starts there’s no TV during week days.

And this is week 36 of my photo journal and Project 365.

Your photos are fabulous! Catching the heron in flight is amazing – to have the aeroplane there too is just brilliant. Hope the new school is going well.
Kriss says
Thank you Sarah – it’s great to have the kids back in school 🙂
Angela Spicer says
What a great shot of the heron.
Kriss says
Thank you.
Nikki Thomas says
That heron shot is absolutely stunning. I love the last photo too, I wonder what they are thinking?
Kriss says
They’re probably thinking that Mummy is being annoying with her camera pointing at them as usual!
Kara says
Ardingly – haven’t been there for years – I used to live close by…..so many memories! I love the leaping cat picture!!
Kriss says
Ardingly is beautiful and lovely to live near.

Gorgeous pictures – really amazing ones of the animals and birds in flight. I don’t know how you manage to get such natural shots of your kids. Mine wont allow me to take photos!

Great pics, they are all stunning, each and every one. So glad the web was empty though 🙂
