We went hiking on Mackworth Island again yesterday. Like my co-worker, I too feel the need to drop everything and get outside when the sun makes one of its rare appearances.

It was a great day for a hike and L. found all kinds of things to show me on the trail. It was one of those, "Look mommy - look - look," kind of days.

A dead crab, one of many she found along the shore

A slug, also one of many she found in the fairy village

"Pretty flowers"

More pretty flowers

After I thought about it, the best sight of the day was my very special child's socks.

I-Spy... pumpkins!
