Golden hour and 10 weather

Here are some pics from today, taken at what is called golden hour - late afternoon, long shadows, golden light. The place Shek O beach.


Ev likes holes a lot, so you have to dig them for him, and then he can practice climbing out, or splash in the water that comes in with the tide; but he also isn't too smart about the sea, so you have to watch him like a hawk. In a wink he's up and running for the water, keeps going too, until you stop him or he loses his balance and you fish him out. Worrying. Aiden has bruises all over his face; bathtub headbutt, coffee table cheek crash, and for desert, some bits of soggy scabby lip stuck to his front teeth courtesy high speed face landing without any landing gear; one of those fun ones with lots of blood and "do I need to get this looked at for stitching" paranoia.

These others, beautiful skies from perfect 10 score weather - sunset over Hang Hau earlier in the week, and Aiden, Ev and Ange doing a floor puzzle in the morning. This is how it works: Aiden makes a point of showing Ev the pieces; Ange helps, and together they assemble it; Evan helps and it gets disassembled; Aiden squeezes/punches/kicks Evan; Ange referees; I stash Aiden in the naughty corner.


A delight to speak earlier; such a delight.
