Forest creation

When the opportunity presents and I am able, I find myself happily creating art in nature while my kids play alongside me. Usually patterns and swirls, which are repetitive, and I find therapeutic and calming to the soul. This day was a cubby building day and after taking a break for some lunch, I found myself making a large spiral out of pine needles and wood. We returned over the coming days and my kids added to their cubbies and I added to this creation and it evolved. We returned again and I was so happy to see a community group had set themselves up around it and kids were using it to play! I know it may seem little to some others, but to me, it was enough that this year my body was capable of physically creating this- I celebrated this. It was so much more to see others engage with it, add to it and enjoy it! It’s fun leaving nature art about!
