Love these little Snap Squad Dino’s. They have an excellent design for their main purpose which is to dangle from the end of things.

This aspiring little dilophosaur has heard on social media* that, as a predator, the paths of Turtle Crossing Park are a target rich environment.

When I don’t feel like shooting toys and don’t have many ideas I find grabbing a toy I haven’t shot for some time helps in overcoming this creative block.

 

I hadn’t photographed Miguel from Coco for awhile and so I went out and posed him in the backyard. I had done some pruning of our tree and hadn’t cleaned up the branches yet.

 

This Miguel is quite difficult to pose as the leg joints are very loose - especially at the knees. I attempted to stiffen the joints with nail polish but it hasn’t seemed to have much of an effect.

 

After posing him in the debris it looked like a Jurassic jungle and boom - the inspiration hit.

 

I feel a lot of my inspiration for my photography comes like this. It’s not there until I start the creative process. I like to tell my kiddos bedtime stories and I have an ongoing Ted the Elephant series. They would rather hear a story than stay up to watch a movie. I find that flattering but at the same time sometimes the creative juices are wearing thin at the end of a long day and I’m fresh out of ideas. I find this same method of starting kicks the creativity into full throttle for me. Some of the best stories happen when there are no preconceived ideas. Interesting...🤔

Watching the birds take flight

Dreaming of weightless height

Soaring higher and higher

Falling farther and farther

Climbing up through the branches

Willing the wing of circumstances

This year is very different, but we are still having fun. Hope you are as well.

 

Stay safe! Enjoy!

They're good at this. All except little Blue who can never keep up with the bigger dinos.

Should've ordered a larger cake :(

 

Bday, part 2.

. . . finding an unexpected friendship, or two.

Wolf man and T-rex

Me: Um ... where to, exactly?

Dinos: To summah vacation, YAY!

Me: You know that's the next room, right?

Clever Girl and her babies: Blue, Charlie, Delta, and Echo. (Yes, I know Clever Girl isn't really their mother, but I don't care!)

. . . look who snuck in to try a hand at modeling.

Clockwise from top left: Spike (Spinosaurus), Poco (TRex Attitudes), Gummy (Baryonyx Camp Cretaceous), and Happy (Carnotaurus Camp Cretaceous)

You get special points for finding a friend.

 

Way back when Lalaloopsy was a rage, I collected bits and pieces of the sets as well. I set up Lalaville in DD's room with a couple of mini Lalas. But DD was never into playing with dolls. She appreciates Mommy's collecting and can tell Licca generations apart but playing with dollies? Not so much. So when we moved houses a couple of years ago, Lalaville was put into a box and stored.

 

Then came the Dinos!, who are a totally different matter with DD. She lives and breathes them. So this week I had a brainwave and decided to set up the Lala village for the dinos. And you can see what a great hit it has been with everyone.

 

PS: It's Dinoville now.

do I sense a hint of jealousy?

The dino gang welcomes the Tokidoki crew with candy.

 

Well, at least I hope it's a welcome gift, and not the beginnings of a turf war.

I better keep an eye on the pantry.

Charlie and Blue fight over a Kit Kat! There's enough for both of you, girls!

Rex: Oooh .... little green thing be pea? *sniff ... drool ... sniff*

Yoda: Stay back, you will!

Um ... WUT? Peas? You like peas?

 

Oh, boy! Who knew I'd get dinos who like veggies.

They raid the pantry like an army of ants, LOL.

 

So much fun! Thank you, Mattel :)

Wishing everyone on Flickr and joyful and festive season.

... when the newest dino matches your colors?

 

Cuddle him of course!

 

(Dino does not approve of the cuddling or the photo)

Now that their foraging opportunities are restricted, the dinos seek out creative avenues to keep themselves in shape.

 

Wish I could say the same about myself :p

Chester just loves hanging out in nature.

And she has a new friend.

 

At least I hope he just wants to be friends and not planning an eggplant lunch.

I'm so smitten by these critters. I just HAD to get another TRex, the green variation.

Celebrating the wonderful A-Z challenge. We will miss it.

to a hungry dino, even when it's a pet.

Shiny (Carnotaurus Camp Cretaceous) in F for Fusion

 

Almost tripped over a tiny red blob the other day. Then realized it's not a blob but a dressed-up dino.

 

Me: Where are you off to?

Shiny: Costume party, where else?

Me: Umm ... ok. So you're a red burrito?

Shiny: No, silly hooman. I'm Grogu!

 

Didn't have the heart to tell him that the colors are a little off for Grogu.

RRROOOUT! CRRRMM OUT!!
