Following on from my Q is for Quick photo last week, more Running this week!
It was sometime last summer that I realised that all three children now spend a significant amount of their time with their back to me, running away, as this photo (taken after a trip to the beach in Breakheart Reservation) demonstrates.
Sometimes in a because running is the best thing ever kind of a way.
Sometimes in a because you asked me to stop kind of a way.
But always with childish abandon and glee.
I can actually hear the screeching and giggling as I look at this photo. The wee girl striding ahead, briefly. Her brothers encouraging her, shouting come on!
The squeals of delight.
We may even have made it back to the car without anyone falling over… Actually, probably not!

I love watching the kids when they’re running with such glee :)
It’s great, isn’t it? Such freedom x
Love this shot – they look like they are having so much fun :-)
They really were, a bit of a race going on :)
There is something about that ” I’m getting away with it” laugh that makes me smile every time. Your boys are good to encourage her. #AlphabetPhoto
It makes me smile too :)
Oh to have that energy! There’s a lot of running going on here too
I wish I had half their energy!
I love that your daughter is in the lead… I expect she has a lot of encouragement from her brothers!
She does indeed :)
Lucas says – AWESOME photo – they look like they’re having a really cool time. Sendign them XL MEGA High-5’s :)
They were having an excellent time :)
This is a great shot! I have so many of my little ones with their backs to me… Always they’re after something :)
I have more shots of their backs than anything else!
A totally gorgeous picture – bet they were giggling away at the time too. Love it! #MyCapturedMoment

Thank you, they were!
Fab photo Sara, there is nothing better that watching kiddies running have fun and hearing their laughter. Children laughter really is one of the most beautiful sounds there is x
It really is, never to make me smile too :)
Aah, running really is the BEST thing when they’re so happy and carefree! x #mycapturedmoment
It really is!
Love this photo! You can hear the screeches!
LP loves to run too and more often than not falls over. xx
Oh, yes, always the falling over :)
Aw! This is such a lovely photo!
That looks like a cycle track near me. I love going for a walk where the kids can just go run off and feel free.
It’s wonderful, isn’t it x
That is an absolutely gorgeous picture! I love that they are all running in such a carefree way, it’s a real action shot! A lovely Captured Moment Sara xxx
Thank you Lisa, even though it was a year ago, I can remember it so clearly!
I like what you’ve done to this photo to make your kids look in slightly blurry motion. Highly appropriate!
Well, they were moving so fast, the photo was slightly out of focus anyway, so I ‘enhanced’ that a little :)
Lovely photo! My little one is only 14 months and she’s not even walking yet but I still have more pictures of her with her back to me than not! :)
Oh, she’ll be off before you know it!
How perfect!!! There is something about a scene like this that reminds me of my own childhood and how I imagined being a parent would feel like – seeing your children run ahead of you together. Just lovely!! Thank you so much for linking up to #MyCapturedMoment xx
A lovely picture and a lovely moment. I love watch the kiddies running and giggling together x #mycapturedmoment
