Up on a shelf i spotted a conversation taking place
my little lego man talking to one of my model bears
compared to some of my other old bears – he’s the smallest
but compared to the lego men – he’s huge 🙂
Fortunately, the lego man sits on a spot where he won’t go to pieces
Sat by a soldier in his guards post, where he’s watching the airfix planes 🙂
You couldn’t call him Black or white
he’s far too bright for that
dashing about the serengeti
and confusing all the cats
see his different coloured stripes are such
they make the whole place smile
so the lionesses don’t grab him for lunch
they’ve left him free for a while
The hippos think he’s amazing
The gazelles think just the same
The birds think he’s a great big flower
and land regularly on his frame
The bears are all a smiling
and the little ones all make their way
to say hello to the fellow with the rainbow stripes
the one who’s made their day.

Poem or Prose in 28 Words – Okay!!!!
Polar bears are partying
under nights light show
the snow is twinkling
with various different colours
moving about on ice
like the mirrorball chasing
the disco floor beams
“Plain Background”
Three Bears – having their picture taken….
Nothing of note behind them to distract any viewer from the group
the neutral colour bringing out the yellows reds and browns from the furry three.

This post is part of the one word photo challenge
When people talk about scale to me – I don’t think of weight, I think of size
Four Bears, all different sizes
Now comparing the two smallest bears – the last one is about as 50 times as small as the next size up, and about 200 times as small as the puppet
Compared to the littlest bear – the first one is a giant.
But there’s one thing the littlest bear has over the other three….
He’s got the hunnypot!!!!

Adventure can be
seen anywhere in the house by little
children, as they
elevate themselves one foot at a time to
nightime stories and
delightful dreams under the watch of their teddy bears
The seeds of creativity
come from a blank page
ideas held in seed form
spread and grow in the mind
a pencil, sandwich and cream soda
the architects tools
as rainbows cast across lemonade seas
marshmallow clouds and fudge trees
provide perfect plates
for a teddy bears picnic

Date : 27th January 2017
An Afternoon of Close ups and scene changes today at BASICs photography workshop.
Fortunately, our Models weren’t that overly demanding!
The workshop took place in the centre Café – Food for thought .
We had some fun and games in a still life session with some old bears! These bears had been collected over the years by our tutor – and formed a core part of a marvellous still life session. The bears were backlit and positioned on their thinking spots before we took the shots. I like the end results we got from this session.
Before taking each shot, we set up our “Stars” on their stage and adjusted lights and tripods accordingly – but being used to using my Sony Cybershot I mostly went for the point and shoot approach….I liked what came off the camera chip 🙂
The sun has popped over the other side of the globe
As the moon watches on.
Its time for little ones to head off to bed
“I Wanna bedtime story!” says one little bear,
“I’m not sleepy!” says another
So, by the mouth of the cave – and snug as a bug
I tell them a tale, and watch them drift off on clouds to the land of nod
Two little bears, dreaming of adventures
that they’ll have when the sun pops up to say hello.
Till then – they’ll hibernate till morning.
In response to the prompt Life’s a Candy Store
Now, here’s a challenge
Twenty four hours as a six year old kid….
It has to be a trip to the Zoo with my Mum, Dad, and Little Sister.
We’re off we’re off we’re off in a Motor Car…
Which Zoo ? Three come to mind. The welsh mountain zoo, near Prestatyn, Blackpool Zoo and Chester Zoo. The nearest from me would be Chester Zoo. It was my favourite as a child – as it was my first experience of wild animals. Like all Zoo’s it isn’t actually in the city or town – but a short distance away, and a short distance by car.
Mum and Dad pack a picnic, thermos, First aid kit and a Some Blankets in the Car. We all wrap up warm – its sunny but it’s still windy
What animals will we see ?
Lions, Tigers and Bears…Oh My!
I enjoyed all of these (including the panda’s) but my favourite animal of all must have been the Elephants. Chester Zoo hosts Elephants today, but they’re Indian Elephants (part of the Endangered Wildlife Program) when I was little, the elephants were African Elephants…and the way I could tell, said Dad, would be the size of their ears!
You see, the Elephants today are indian elephants – and they’ve got smaller ears than their African cousins!
It was fun watching the elephants as the keepers gave them a feed and then a good wash, as the elephants sprayed the keepers with water.
Lunchtime approaches – and that means a picnic lunch in the Zoo…before visiting the rhinos and the hippopotamuses playing in their pens.
And then, we see the flamingos before being entertained by the Penguins being fed by the Zookeepers. Before a little treat from the Zoo shop and the Trip back home.
And two little people start dreaming of Heffalumps….
