Clouds and sun

Hailey and I went for a walk this morning and ended up at the beach for a while. It was a warm day, but windy and judging from the sky, I don't think Mother Nature knew just what she wanted to do with the day.

While we walked along the shore, Hailey exhibited some "inner Evan" and found a plastic ring that washed up onto the beach.

The sun kept on popping out intermittently and we kept trying to catch our shadows but without much luck.

We saw a brightly colored leaf seemingly out of place right near the water which screamed to us that fall was right around the corner.

I wasn't kidding about that sky!

We left the beach and took the long way home that goes by the park. We stopped there and played Rapunzel for a while. Hailey always wants me to be Mother Gothel then laughs when I use my own made up pet name for her - Punny.

Then it was time to swing. This little girl could swing for hours and she always wants me to push her higher until she can touch the trees.

I love these last two swinging pictures. They make me smile.

It was a good walk.
