Photo Hunt - Small





Theme for this week's photo hunt is SMALL. These are tank models made by my son when he was 9. They're only over an inch long so you can just imagine how hard it was for my son to build them. He also hand-painted these tanks.




This baby finch was only 3 days old when I took this photo. You can tell from the palm of my hand how small it is. The finch was blind and hand-fed, it survived for 3 weeks. The same photo was also used for my WW entry.

Your son must be very patient to put together such small models and the baby finch is so small. Great take on the theme.

You son is so skillful to paint the tanks so beautifully. Aww...pity the bird. I found one too but it barely survived for 12 hours.

Kate said...

your son must have a lot of patience and manual dexterity to do such little models at such an early age. My kids could NEVER have done that!

oh! I never like tanks since young, may be it's all because I am a girl. However, it's fantastic for guys. It's best there are guns too! hehe...

Good photos! I don't mind if you use my Photo Hunter image but it's incredibly easy to make your own with Paint and Flicker accounts on Yahoo.

Awww, it's a shame the baby finch died. Thank you for taking care of it for those 3 weeks, the world needs more caring people like you.

Thank you for stopping by my blog!
