Lego Stuff

Trev is a bit of a fickle jack-of-all-trades when it comes to his Lego. He'll be passionately at work on a castle one day, and the very next day he'll dismantle it to make a hotel or a pizza shop. He makes crazy-realistic little machines, and then tosses them into the pile as he moves on to his next creation. I need to start photographing these amazing and ingenious little pieces before they're relegated to the brick pile.

So here's the cell block he's working on at the moment:

I thought it would be funny to take a picture of the kids on this Leap Day, and then do the same thing four years from now, when Trev is (sniff!) almost 12, and Clara is (yikes!!!) 15.

The only glitch in my plan was that my models were a bit squirrely tonight.
I'm a but of an ultra-close-up nut at the moment, so consider yourself warned if you're around me and you see that I have my camera in my hand...

The Dog Days of Winter

There's definitely something wrong with the weather.....But heck, I'll take it.
