... I used to play with that kind of "meuh box" in my grand parents house.
It was too noisy for my parents !!
Made with chinon 50mm f1,8 + extension rings.
This is one my father made for my son, mine are long gone. I was already quite interested in archeology, and it did teach me how smart our ancestors were. Making bows and arrows good enough for getting you a dinner is far from easy (needless to say I never came anywhere close to succeeding), and nobody was around to give them the idea!

Happy Macro Monday, and thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and comments. They are always appreciated :)
And now I teach in a college...but it's the bits in between that have made me what I am...I'm always amazed at the things that are kept in the memory boxes. I have one, my wife has one and my children are now making their own...swimming certificates, football programmes, newspaper cuttings...memories...
When I was a child, my father built a wooden puppet stage and gave me these sweet puppets for Christmas one year. The stage is long gone, but the puppets are near and dear to me.
These rocks aren't mine. They belong to my wife, but I remember those school trips. The trips with a long bus ride, packed lunch, and educational videos. Kids fooling around while the chaperones were looking in another direction. The trips that ended with a souvenir shop... oh, and no class.
Fond memories.

Smurfs were Les Schtroumpfs, living in mushroom-shaped houses in their homeland of Belgium; and Queen Elsa was the eponymous heroine of Hans Christian Andersen's Snow Queen.
I remember having a GameBoy and a NES as a child. As it gather dust it became a hand me down to family members but the minute it was gone I wanted it back!
Fast forward 10 years and I found a one in great condition on eBay for a fraction of the price my parents would have paid all those years ago.
The games are still absorbing, despite the inability to save your progress. As soon as I saw this week's theme I knew I'd be submitting a photo of this controller!

Even at 17 months old I could pretty easily entertain myself. While I don’t remember the actual events, my mom proudly tells the story. My grandparents rented a cabin at Flathead Lake for the family summer vacation and my mom and dad would join them on weekends. There was a stump just outside the cabin window where I was allowed to play unattended. I would drive my little cars and trucks on the stump for hours, reluctantly stopping to eat and potty. Nothing has really changed. I could have spent that long posing my little trucks on the stump in my backyard for the Macro Mondays photo this week. Unfortunately, I had other commitments, so I only gave myself about 15 minutes at the stump. HMM
...I loved this book of adventures of a large family of kids. It had been written by a distant relative of mine, and I always thought the kids were my cousins. This illustration seems far more sinister than it is (they're supposed to be covered in paint but it appears they just emerged from a massacre with some kittens). But I was always a bit creeped out by the button-eyes.

... things had a nice warm glow inside
This thermionic valve would have been the audio amplifier in a television.
When I was a child, Playmobil used to be my favorit toy during long time. The Dog, a bouvier bernois was an other child's dream which came true approximately 5 years ago.
At around nine years old, I really started to take notice of that big box-like thing with reels the schoolteacher would wheel into the classroom atop a tall cart. Not long after, with the permission of the teacher and the way paved by earning A-V monitor privileges through brownie-point auctions, I mastered the Bell & Howell 399 16mm sound movie projector. As years passed, I got to know other makes and models of that classroom staple, as well as other kinds of audio-visual equipment, a fascination which later would lead into a career in the field.
¿Quién es el que anda ahí? Es Cri-Cri, es Cri-Cri.
¿Y quién es ese señor? ¡El grillo cantor!
This time something made in Mexico. My small replica (8 cm) is from an LP album dated in 1963 by Reader´s Digest. Oh! this wonderful, eternal music... when I was a child.

When I was a Child...:
I used to read all the Tom Swift Jr. books. My school library had them all, and I went through them in order, checking out one book every afternoon after school and returning it the next morning. I still read books voraciously and found some of these old books secondhand.

I played with this so much that it was coming apart. My Dad put some tape on it to help! More than 40 years ago.
I loved doing sudoku and playing with miniature cars.
This Citroen 2CV has been with me for 40 years!

Macro Mondays - When I was a child...
...I was obsessed with Natural History (I refused to go to the best Grammar school in Bath as it was then and so answered the interviews with "Natural History" to every question, so getting to go to the school I wanted).
One of the things I did a lot was dissecting everything I could and I built up a set of quality tools from my pocket money (I was about 11 of course).
My scalpel handles were Swann-Morton - the best I could get - but blades were hard to come by and mostly I used Lister.
This is an old Lister #10 blade in its packet.
When I was a child .... I got this teething ring as a birth gift. Now, almost 60 years later, I still have it in my possession :).
HMM!

Husky Aston Martin DB6 & Matchbox "E" Type Jaguar photographed for Macro Mondays theme "When I was a child..."
When I was a child I used to wonder whether to have an Aston Martin or an E Type Jaguar when I grew up. I still can't decide between them so to sidestep the choice entirely I have gone for a 15 year old Skoda instead.

Macro Mondays - In My Childhood
My last memories of anyone actually playing marbles games was in my 1950's second grade schoolyard. Rules long forgotten, the boys brought marbles to school and played during recess and after school trying to knock each other's marbles into a shallow, conical hole dug in the dirt. In the 1970's I remember Japanese children playing games with ohajiki (おはじき), flat glass marbles, another photo..
What things do children play with nowadays?

May 09, 2016 - Theme for the week: "When I was a Child..."
In the 70's as a child I liked to get these cool stickers (at least they were cool back then), and stick them to my bedroom's closet door!
Most the stickers were from the "Odd Rods" and "Wacky Packages" series collections!
This is a capture taken on my new Huawei Mate 8 cell phone, of the actual bedroom door and stickers I put on it over forty years ago - YIKES !!!!!
All of them certainly didn't stand the test of time, but it sure brings back great memories from my past whenever I look at that door . . .

...I could play whole stories with these Playmobil figurines.
They're dated on their feet, "1974". I was born in 1972, so true childhood treasures.
All of the Playmobil toys we used to have are still in a big box at my parent's place. My kids and the kids of my brother and sister still play with these toys today!
I tried to add a "70's film feel" to this shot in Lightroom.
Macro Mondays. May 9, 2016 ~ When I was a child... I was a bookworm and Paddle to the Sea was one of my favorite books!
Happy Macro Monday, my friends!
For six word story.
"7 Days of Shooting" "Week #14” “Childhood Memory" "Shoot Anything Saturday” This book was one of my favorite stories as a child and the reason I can name the Great Lakes to this day! From the book, Paddle-to-the-Sea, written and illustrated by Holling Clancy Holling. published by Houghton Mifflin Co., 1941. Three pictures of books this week ~ yeah, I was definitely aa bookworm!

Many thanks for every kind comment, fave, your words of encouragement, and the inspiration of your fine photography,
my friends! You make my day every day!

When I Was a Child, I lived by the ocean dreaming of one day venturing to the other side of the world. My bike leaned against the house was my freedom that took me the other way across the plains.
No encuentro el camino de baldosas amarillas por ninguna parte. ¿Con qué camino te quedrías para ir a Oz? Yo elegí el de la izquierda. No encontré ni al mago, ni al león, ni al robot de hojalata, ni al espantapájaros... pero mereció la pena.
Esta foto la hice el pasado verano, cerca de la casa de mis antepasados. Volver allí es reencontrarse con cosas que de pequeño no valoraba como ahora lo hago. No hay nada mejor que perderse para después reencontrarte
Este año probaré con el camino que no tomé, sino nunca iré más lejos de donde fui

btb, these are tiny tiny shells-- see the first comment box for a comparison with a staple
A rather battered, well-used, wooden object that kept me busy for many hours as a child : ) It's just over 3" tall. Wanted to get a quick shot of it before I pass it on to one of my kids.
