Recently my family and I decided to go for a walk along Lygon St. For those of you not familiar with Melbourne, Lygon St is one of our more prominent streets. It is famous for its many restaurants, mostly Italian. It also has quite an interesting array of shops and an unmistakable culture.
On the day of our walk it was the first break in the rain for some time. While the skies were finally dry, the pavement certainly wasn’t. My boys, clad in their gumboots, jumped in every puddle they found down the urban street.
In the middle of the street is a small park. It is a small oasis from the busy urban landscape.
My boys just went crazy. They ran and jumped and played in the autumn leaves. I didn’t think they would ever want to go home.
This is my fleeting moment. I just love these moments when a child’s play breaks up the chaos of adult life.
Join in the fun with the Daily Post and share your fleeting moment on the streets. See http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2012/06/29/weekly-photo-challenge-fleeting-moment/ for details.

Yep – it makes you wonder where we’re usually going, that’s so important, when you see the joy in a child seizing a moment!
It has a familiar feel to it… like a place I’ve been to in Belgium. Lovely shot.
It’s nice to think that it can feel familiar all that way away…. Funny how some places just have that, even if they are at the other end of the earth. Glad you like the shots.
Yes, it does happen sometimes… interesting.
you really caught the essence of this wonderful moment
Thank you!
The last shot is the most adorable one….absolutely darling he looks!!
thanks for the pingback
So cute! Thank you for the pingback
You are very welcome!
So cute! Love the colors too.
Thank you. Autumn colours are so pretty aren’t they?
My favorite. I grew up in Michigan, where the autumn colors are stunning. They are pretty in Seattle, but not like back east (or where you live!)
I hadn’t realized you were in Melbourne! My favourite – & where I was born & grew up. I miss it. Thanks for your photos
I’m a Melbourne girl born and bred! Have lived most of my life here.
