Urban Wild Study Reflection 1: Bowness Park April 23rd

What I feel:

Joy
Shared Joy 
Offering, engaging
Natural
Families a swirl of colours
Mixing with spring
Inviting companions
Inspire
                                               Rippling, unfolding
                                              Shared path
                                              Joy

What I wonder:
​So much of my interest and readings so far have had a focus on  the role of adults as important companions in nature for children however I am starting to wonder about the effects of going out in nature on adults with children as their companions in nature...
In other words: children as important companions in nature for adults.

What I think
A community of families as an important setting to nurture the parent-child-nature relationship.

What I understand
My son 
comfortable
happy
staying close to the ground,
close to one significant adult
observing
smiling
snacking
holding my hand, a stick
or the soft cold earth
