Tree kids




.....................................................................................................................................

They played in their new build tree house "The rescue club" for hours, despite chilly windy weather. One of them even ate her breakfast in it, sat there til her lips were blue of cold. Made me think of one favorite book, Klätterbaronen (The Baron in the Trees) by Italo Calvinos. Topshot, a mobile pic, notice the strange color effects on the ground.

I forgot all about that book! And the invisible Knight. I can't remember the third story. Wow. I must have lent it to someone...

Love these pics. Isn't is amazing how, if something is great, things like weather just doesn't matter to them!
