Since seeing Mackworth Island last year, all the boy could talk about was bringing his sister Mimi back so they could go exploring together. Recently that dream came true.

As they walked towards the water, little brother recounted to big sister everything that had happened the year before. Patiently she listened, enjoying the world through her brother's eyes.

 Climbing down a long flight of stairs and over layered rocks. They walked along the shore exploring tidepools, and sharing discoveries.

Little gifts from the sea were found and even a living specimen.

Gently the boy put the shell back in the water hoping he would give it a chance for survival. Just waiting on the rock, however, was an ever watching seagull. 

After taking this photo I looked up and both of them had gone. I decided to just sit where I was and wait for them to return. After a bit I noticed one and then the other, a metaphor for life I suppose. No matter how far away they go they eventually return. 

Here's wishing you a wonderful day.
