I have a young friend with a cute little toy animal named Alistair. She takes photos of his journeys, highlighting the seasonal changes of the year, and she has just sent me a calendar with Alistair on each month. It's delightful!
I have another friend, TobyBo, who takes pictures of her monkey Melrose in his escapades.
This makes me interested in trying my hand at it too, but: what animal would I use??
My Younger Son immediately said that I should take pictures of Sharpie.
"WHO is Sharpie?" I quizzically asked.
"YOU know. SHARPIE," he said as to one who is deaf.
Here is a photo of Sharpie.
My son has a very strange sense of humor.
So we began to look around the house for someone photo-worthy, and the first thing we found was the cat's toy.
He is prime in many ways: he has limbs, is very cute, and his color is good for photography. But he is rather attached to his job description.
Next, we found a gorilla. He's not bad, but his dark color may pose quality problems in some lighting situations.
Our lion has some good qualities, but his expression is rather dull. Thinking of something Narnian, I gather.
The Halloween bear is the only toy that is "mine." I like him very much, but he IS rather seasonal. Definitely seasonal.
What do you think? (Yes, I know, I have BETTER things to do)
At any rate, I put the little mouse on a postcard and sent him to my friend and her Alistair as a "Thank You" for their calendar. Maybe that is as far as I will go.

:DI am not convinced Sharpie has major potential, but, maybe... Personally, I like the lion's personality. But maybe your own Devastatingly Handsome could find you a photogenic buddy for one of the upcoming February holidays
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has the same lion!
