Kids Rule the Roost – International Day of Play

Kids rule the roost at this extraordinary play party. Three non-stop hours of kids darting hither, thither and yon. They explore everything on offer at this volunteer driven event celebrating the International Day of Play. Parents are fully engaged - speaking with other parents and playing right alongside their children. As for passersby, they take it all in pausing for awhile, amused, bemused, at times enthused.

Loose-Parts-a-Palooza at International Day of Play

The first time I saw kids in action with loose parts was just a little more that 10 years ago on Glasgow Green in Scotland. I was there for a family wedding that just happened to coincide with the Play Summit, an international conference on play where said loose parts were being put on for local kids. The young girl is this pic totally captivated me.

Winter ships out

Winter ships out, Jubilee Park, Bridgetown, Nova Scotia - 2013 - PlaySnaps number 45 Winter ships out, Jubilee Park, Bridgetown, Nova Scotia - 2013 Last week, I thought winter shipped out. A melt had all but evaporated the snow and there was a welcome warmness in the air. It looked like winter was finally on the ropes, no match for the inevitable change of seasons.

Shredding the White Stuff

Shredding the White Stuff, Brightwood Golf and Country Club, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia - 2023, PlaySnaps number 43. Shredding the White Stuff, Brightwood Golf and Country Club, Dartmouth This year's abundant accumulation of snow has all but evaporated. It's been a steady melt during the past week. Already I'm getting a little nostalgic and misty-eyed. This photo sweeps me right back to winter's delight.
