366 Challenge 325: Toy



Great thing to be a mother of 2, I thought when I saw the theme toy. I had something else in mind when for the theme, but then I saw my daughter yesterday, playing with this classic toy. I thought: "How cool wouldn't it be to get the top and bottom to be still and the rest of the toy spinning?"

Well done capturing the movement! I bought some little wooden spinning tops last year, in the Tate Modern gallery in London, and took loads of photos, trying to get the movement of them spinning - well done, great job!

Oh, that is so good! I love the movement and angle. The contrast between the colors and the wood and slate beneath is really effective too. This toy makes me feel happy!

Lovely image and great capture. D'you know the funny thing is that I walked through a toy shop yesterday (I don't have children so there wasn't any reason), but I stopped and had a go at a spinning top that I saw! It was the only toy I looked at in detail.

what a colorful twirl/top. That is one beautiful take for the PH theme "wooden" Thanks for sharing

dogeared: My daughter thought it was just as fun, when I told her "one more time!". It's a real classic toy and I actually didn't have one for my son, but my daughter loves this and plays with it for long periods of time.

julie m: Thank you, I had a photo which wasn't "landscape", which took away some of the toy bricks and parts of the floor, but I though this was more toyish. I just sat down where she was playing in her room (the chest is to my left and I was just taking pictures of it when I saw her with the toy).

lisa B: It is quite an intriguing little toy. :)

mmehaydee: thank you for stopping by!
