Fun Under the Tree

New Zealand is a very green country and we do have a lot of trees. And I have a lot of tree photos.

But this time I decided to 'think outside the square' and post this photo taken of the children having so much fun with their mother throwing the fallen leaves at each other.

This was the main highlight that the girls had of their holiday to Rotorua.

I was so pleased to have hold of the camera - they knew they had better not throw the leaves at the camera - AND me!!

Thanks Chris for this week's theme.

Hi Janice
Looks like everyone's having fun. A shot like this would look really good with some multiple exposures of the people having fun.
Made me smile thinking about the kids - especially the big one - having fun with the autumn leaves.

Hi Janice, it's unusual to see this autumn scene from your country. I know you have autumn there, but yes .. we all percieve it to be a perpetually green country.
Nice fun shot of the kids and their mom in action.

Ciao Janice, lovely composition and fantastic great tree, splendid light and colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hello Janice,

This is a little unusual for the theme but still fits! I love the enjoyment and movement that you have captured here.
The connection between the cascading leaves and the disappearing hand gives such a sense of fun.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Janice,
Excellent photo for the theme, very fun and captivating. You've frozen the airborne leaves nicely, such clarity throughout also. Impressive post my friend :).

TFS,
Scott.

Hi Janice, What fun! And a great action shot of the children at play with their mother. Well captured and brings a smile to my face. TFS

Hi Janice,

This is a very imaginative and fun shot for this week's theme. Catching the leaves in the air as you did really grabs one's attention. Well done!

Regards,
John

Hi Janice

I'd forgotten it with Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, with all the cherry, peach magnolia, & azalea blossum, around Korea, where it's Spring. The people add scale here, & a fun element. Nice entry in the theme. Tfs!

Howdy Janice.. something different for the theme... with lots of movement....not too sure about seeing the arm on the left side..but it was probably a quickly grabbed shot.. looks like they were having fun.

Cheers
Dawn

Great idea, perfect for the contribution. Well done.
Best wishes,
Achim

Hi Janice
This is a very cute and good action shot.

You take me back to my days when growing up we would do this and also kick the leaves when there were so thick on the ground.

Nice capture of these leaves in the air!
It's a child delight to throw leaves to each other!
Great lighting and sharpness!
Children are the joy of mankind!
Well done.

sympa cette ambiance de jeux et sympa l'idée de nous rapeller que dans l'hémisphère sud l'automne est arrivé!
qui plus est la taille de l'arbre est impressionnante! proportionnelle à la joie de cette Maman qui joue, dommage qu'on ne voit pas un peu plus la petite qui s'échappe en courant mais c'est normal aussi puisque le thème c'est l'arbre!
