This is one of those photos that I don’t remember taking – there’s a series of shots that I took from a distance of the girls walking towards the surf together. Somehow I failed to notice at the time that E had stopped to help her little sister roll up her pants legs so that she could go out a bit further. When I was scanning through all the photos my eyes rested on this one, and I thought about the frequent squabbling and tension between the two when they both have very different ideas about their play. There are also many frequent moments of this kind of sharing, and it’s nice to have a photo to look at to remind me of this gift they have of each other.
What a wonderful moment to capture!
