One of the challenges in the Mega Miles group is to walk the rainbow. I decided to use my Thursday walk back from my school volunteering to see if I could find all the rainbow colours.
The rain had stopped but I wasn’t sure for how long. I decided to walk the direct route home having seen some suitable opportunities on my walk to the school.
As I stopped to take the first photo someone came up behind me and tapped me on the back, startling me a little.
Although I was quite a distance from the school I turned my head to see one of the children who I help with their reading. She was shortly followed by two adults who asked me if everything was alright. I explained I was taking a photograph of the sign as part of a rainbow colour photo challenge, which must have sounded a little odd.
We parted ways but not before the pupil helpfully pointed out several rainbow opportunity photos.
Brilliant!
There is truly nothing more comforting for parents than seeing a familiar reading helper lurking ‘quite a distance’ from the school gates, frantically photographing public property for an abstract internet game.
I hope you offered them a bit of that pavement lavender to calm their shattered nerves.
They weren’t the girls parents…
The girl continued walking home on her own.
It was me with that was left with an uncomfortable feeling.
