I was strolling by Brisbane Water on the Central Coast recently and I saw this mother and child. The little girl appears to be about the same age as my grandson, Max, and he is forever asking 'Why?' I felt sure she was doing the same!
WHY?
Mummy, why is water wet?
Why isn't water dry?
Why isn't water dry?
Mummy, why do fishes swim?
Why don't fishes fly?
Mummy, why are clouds up there?
Why aren't they here with me?
Mummy! When I'm old as you
How clever I will be!

that is so cute...you captured the curious nature of children perfectly
I think you are very right about that! Very sweet capture!
what a lovely photo and lovely verse
Nice little poem explaining the nature of children growing up an there curious questions with all the whys. Ideal picture to illustrate it too.
My reflection
Isn't it wonderful the way people, especially children, enliven a photo. Nice image and I like the poem.
lovely photo, the meaning of life at that age is to ask 'why?'
I, too, like taking images of the generations interacting. Something to do with the transfer of knowledge and traditions - and love.
You have captured the reflections - both top and bottom - quite delightfully.
Have a happy holiday.
Cute photo and lovely rhyme, so true!
Great reflection , loved the rhyme!
Absolutely lovely and an excellent reflection either.
It's nice to see people in a shot for a change! This is a wonderful catch and your interpretation is great. Beautiful reflections, also!
A beauty! Lovely verse to match a excellent photo.
Cute reflection!
Very nice shot and it's so true about children asking why. "What if" comes after "why"
