Hands



childs hands worm garden

green painted child hands

childs hand painting



I love their hands when they are fresh out of the bath, almost sparkling with newness, not a blemish to be seen.
I love their hands when they are exploring the world around them, feeling their way through weird and wonderful textures.
I love their hands when they stroke the soft fur around Misty's ears making her sigh with pleasure..
I love their hands when they make squelchy noises in paint, cake mixture or mud and the squeaky sound they make when they are washed clean of their adventures..
I love their hands when they are colourful from play, decorated, telling the tales of the day's fun and games.
I love their hands when they are wrapped in a woolly warmth protecting them from the icy coldness.
I love their hands cupped together, protecting their treasure, preventing escape.

Best of all, I love their hands when they are tucked into mine.

    Wow these are great photos showing the wear and tear that the hands of our children endure! The green one reminds me of the incredible hulk xx

    Lovely post. I can tell I'm no longer a child though - I can no longer entertain the thought of holding actual worms...!
