You Capture : Togetherness

The assignment at You capture was Togetherness.
I really enjoyed capturing something that my family loves to do together.
We go on walks on some evenings to meander through
the streets of my parents' neighborhood.
We take our time as we stroll.
I thought that I would bring my camera along
and document the adventure that unfolds as we walk.

We set off into the sticky evening air.

My Dad always has a walking stick for he and Griffin.
Three minutes into the walk, Griffin abandons the stick and then
my dad carries both of them
the rest of the way.

Right outside the door, my dad points
out his new plant called Hearts A Bustin'.
It is quite a sight to behold.

Griffin stops to pick flowers from unsuspecting yards
or to inspect nuts that he finds on the ground.
We all have to stop from time to time to admire them.

Each new discovery becomes a treasure
and ends up in my father's pockets

as we continue our walk.

By the time we get home,
his pants are heavy with rocks and acorns.

We all take a moment to marvel at Poison Berries
hanging on a tree and have a little chat
about the fact they are not cherries
and that we do not ever eat them.

Then, Griffin accosts an Apple Tree
with his walking stick

and rotten apples tumble to the ground
as he yells "Hi-ya".

We stop to pet a friendly cat named Peanut Butter.

Finally, we head back home
before the sun starts to set

but just as the fireflies start to take flight.
I love our little walks and
the feeling of togetherness we get
as we stroll with the
scent of the Georgia evening on our skin.
