Nature Walk and Shadow Dancing

Last Sunday we went on a nature hike near our house. Akemi didn't want to go initially, but she was leading the way in no time - running, skipping and dancing. We collected some leaves for rubbing and spotted some animals along the way.

Here is her shadow dance. I wasn't able to capture her skipping. Maybe next time.

The other day we went over to Nona and Nono's place. As soon as we got there Akemi disappeared and reappeared in a smock with paints. She said that she wanted to paint.

So, off she went to paint some things while we talked about Nona and Nono's trip. Occasionally Akemi would complain that we were talking too loud.

The picture above is of some face-painting place. The second is of a time machine and the third is a flying machine, where in both pictures the black square is the door. The last picture is of a ghost story.
