I asked the children to touch the sun. “That’s impossible ” they all laughed together at such a silly notion.
I am too small to touch the sun.
“We are just too small.” the six-year-old explained with all the wisdom of his years. I suggested they climb higher, reach higher, try harder.
So they climbed the tower at the park.
They climbed to the top
.
One by one, they reached as high as they could climb
.
and they touched the sun
.They touched the sun
They held the sun in their hand
.
Even the skeptical six-year-old succeeded and learned that he is not too small after all.
. Grandma’s aren’t so silly after all.

Brightly uplifting. Thanks for sharing.
Great photos! I love the “Sun in the palm of your hands” concept!
Wonderful!
I have nominated you for a Kreativ Blogger Award. Please visit my blog for all the details.
Hope they didn’t look too closely, though.
I hope not… There was a thin layer of clouds, but clouds are not very protective are they…
Thanks for the pingback Maggie….liked the 4th shot….lovely angles!
The kids must have loved seeing these resulting photos. They made magic!
They came home and we immediately had to have a look.
