Playing And Enjoying Nature With Yellow Leaves

Spring Six Word Photo Story Challenge Nature Art

Making life enjoyable with leaf art

Last evening I went to the community garden.

I noticed quite a few people were enjoying the outdoors in the garden even though the weather was hot.

I saw a lot of children there. Some of them were chatting and were happy. some were lazily walking around or playing with a ball.

I turned around and what I saw shocked me. A large number of children were sitting with their tabs or laptops.

I asked these kids why they were not playing but they did not reply because they were playing games on their computers and were distant as they were completely immersed in it.

Then I saw that there were a lot of yellow leaves strewn in the garden. The wind had blessed the garden and it was full of them. In India, the Ashoka tree is very famous as it is believed to be spiritual and also has many benefits for health. It grows easily and we have to prune it often.

My inner child began to play. I carried on the game of the wind and began to enjoy the leaves by collecting them one by one and my hands were full.

Some children saw me having fun and they also began to collect yellow leaves. They asked me what will I do with them?

I told them to watch. I went in between the Kochia plants in the space and made square designs in a whole row.

Do you know what the children did? They made groups and I assigned each group the space to have fun in groups and do some nature art.

Soon there were multiple decorations of yellow leaves on the ground. We were all happy with the fun and the nature art we made.They were all simple designs made with a lot of fun.

I will let you in a secret. The playful children made such a noise by laughing and cackling that all the children on their computers were disturbed and called off their games and started enjoying nature too and attempting to make nature art.

Nature art can bring fun to people. Bring out your child in you and play in nature to enjoy your life. Your happiness is in your hand.
