Growing confidence

The building is proceeding apace. The lower level is completely framed up, and they have moved to the upper, main, level where the changes are staggering in just three days of work; no one has been there since Thursday. I guess we were breaking all the rules of a building site taking the boys in to have a look.

They were as delighted with it as were we. The upper level photographs which I took are an excellent record, but it was this which caught my fancy. It even surpassed a technically superior shot I took of an angler down below the cliff at the moment of completing his cast into a slightly rough (for Kawau Bay) sea. The boys (Young L and Mr H in the background) had been looking around, trying the gaps in the timber frame, and jumping down from differing heights, representing the different levels of confidence between 7 and 3.

Here we see Young L having wriggled through the gap immediately behind him to land on a board ramp which was flexible and uneven. Mr H was making it bounce a bit and they were both gathering both balance and confidence. Within a couple of minutes there was no pausing, and no need for the arms in the air to signify the finding of balance.

Hence my title, and submission that it meets this week's challenge.
