Little Tyke is becoming rather a photographer.


This is one of hers :-)

What is it though?

Not sure what it is Russell but I think you should see your
doctor first thing in the morning.
Probably something to do with all that sun. :-}

Aha!! - you are on the right track Val - but think optical illusion.

It looks inside - out , as though the balls are facing outward :-)

Little Tyke spotted the illusion straight away and took piccies - clever

Do you mean that those are indentations, and not
protrusions? Amazing. I still can't visualize them as
indentations. Yes, it is quite an illusion.
How old is Little Tyke? Do I remember correctly that
she is 14 years old? Smart girl!

Yes Little Tyke is 14 and a smart girl :-)
I'm seeing a great interest in photography and graphics in her. She has
just joined her school's photography club.
Looks like I'll be dipping into my pocket for another digital camera!!

I thought you'd have sussed that by now Russell. Give her your camera then you
can get yourself the latest model. Shame on you. LOL

You're very smart, too, to encourage her in whatever
interests her. I was interested in learning about so many
things when I was a kid, but we didn't have money to
pursue them. Now that I might be able to afford it, I don't
have the interest... or the energy. (g)
I remember wanting to learn about oil painting. My mom
bought me a small oil painting set containing many little
tubes of oil paint in many different colors, and several brown
boards on which to paint. However, I didn't know how to start
and we could never even consider paying for art lessons. So I
never learned. Now that I'm older, I wouldn't want to deal with the mess.
However, I must say that I was given piano lessons and I'm
very grateful about that, since I've derived so much pleasure
from playing the piano.
Good luck to your daughter with her photography.

To me it looked similar to a dish of macaroni and cheese,
covered over with melted cheese. It's the color of Kraft
Macaroni and Cheese. (g) It has the smooth texture of
melted cheese.
I don't see melon balls or indentations of melon balls,
although I can understand how others might see that.
After someone mentioned "melon", I noticed the green
rind of a melon, but hadn't notice it before that.

Spent on essentials such as new kitchen appliances :-)

It's not finding the money for the pc that's the problem it's convincing
Mrs Tyke of the need for a new one!!

Mrs Tyke is "non techy" where pc's are concerned so that might do the
trick :-)
