Childhood memories and recollections. That is what appears while participating in discovering the natural world with children.
At certain age enchanted by nature kids, find and keep all sorts of artifacts. A time full of wonder and imagination. My children and I also assembled a private ‘treasures collection’. Our finds evolve, transform, fade away, and disappear. While we played I recall my childhood memories and flashes. Scary places and secret paths. Hometown, and vicinity.
Even though our reminiscences are getting distorted, we still can restore a lot. Smell, taste, and other surprising details from back then. Therefore, I found that journey fascinating and beautiful.
