Sunday Stills ~ Toys

 

Well, Ed must be feeling a little playful because this week’s Sunday Stills Challenge is all about Toys.

Around here we have cat toys.

Fun post. I love the picture of Jen. We love Tinkertown. It's a most unique place.

I enjoyed all the toys.

I read about your barn swallows, the photo's we awesome, sure wish we had these birds in the NC mountains. I grew up in the flatlands of NC and no swallows there either. I sure would try to attract 'em if they were in this region.

Lisa, great toys!!! I love the cat picture and your beautiful Jenna! Your pictures are always so good! You have the "eye" for it.
Hugs to you.....

My daughter loves hippos. We don't keep many toys around the house anymore with the exception of dog toys, which are too disgusting to photograph, and jolly balls for the horses.

Even hippos need toys- that's fantastic!

I adore tinkertown. That place is incredible. Absolutely mesmerizing.

Hippo ball? Seriously, how strong does that ball have to be to survive a hippo?!

Love the last two hippo pics :)

And what is this I hear... omg you have BEP on your music player!

Jessica said...

That hippo with his toy is TOO CUTE! Great pics...love your daughter in the tent, too. :)

Thanks for all the generous and kind comments. I thought it was cute that hippos like to play with balls, too. I watched that one younger hippo roll that ball all over the place for at least 20 minutes. He was thoroughly enjoying his toy! hehe!
You can see all the teeth marks on it. I have no idea how strong it is. I bet it is made of hard plastic, though.

Lisa, So what do you think of my music selection. BEP is typically NOT my style of music (a little too much language for my liking....but I chose the Radio Version for my blog player).
But there is just something about this particular song that pumps me up, makes me smile and want to move to the music. Nothing wrong with that, right? hehe!

Lori Skoog said...

Brilliant choices. Such clear and beautiful shots!

Ebie said...

This is my blog.
These are all great photos! But I love your toys, most, the bright colors in the background and the details. My kitty does not like to play with any toy. And she sleeps in an empty box I got from Costco because she outgrew the empty shoe box.

Beautiful colors as always, Lisa. I particularly like the one of Jenna.

lisa said...

Sooo, cool!! Your daughter is just adorable!

Melanie said...

I love that last picture, with the hippo and her ball. It looks as if she is contemplating her next move. :)

...And Jenna looks pretty darn cute as well!!

The final image of the hippo and the ball is really very striking!

cdncowgirl said...

I like quite a variety of music. BEP is something I really like to put on to get pumped up. I was just caught a little by surprise that you would like them too! lol
