#MacroMondays, #CenterSquareB&W
Pictured here is my entry for this week's Macro Monday topic -- B/W Center Square. This Matchbox car and I go way back, as this was one of my favorite toy cars back when I was a kid. I actually had saved a number of these old cars, and passed them along to my son -- who enjoyed playing with them for a time as well.
My son eventually grew out of the toy car stage (as kids do), and this old lime green Ford matchbox car went back in the box once again... Having now survived two generations, but still in excellent condition.
Who would've guessed that macro photography would've reunited me with my old die-cast metal friend one more time. It was a lot of fun photographing this car, which brought back some fond memories -- not only of my childhood, but my son's as well.
It'll go back in the box now, and stay there a while more... Who knows what new future adventures or memories will be in store for it... Time will tell, but either way I'll look forward to our next meeting somewhere down the road. ;)
Hope everyone had a great weekend... HMM to all!
