The most cutie shot with wonderful shadows this week-end so far.
Have a happy SSS...
Oh, what dear shadow shots, Dimple! Yes, some things do remain even after they grow up and move on and what lovely memories they leave!
Enjoy your weekend!

So sweet! The cars remind me of my small collection I had when I was a youngster - a lovely shot! Happy SSS!
What a greatshot and shadow.
I still have boxes of my kids' things - but not out like yours. I miss those things!
Cars and airplanes make a boy's imagination work over time. For me anyway :>)
It seems to be the room, the space of a boy. I think our college age son still has Hot Wheels somewhere. Not interesting to hm now, but these toys allowed him to be the great thinker he is now. Now I'm reminiscing!
ditto what Ralph said.. he's my hubby.
;-)
We still have a Lego space shuttle on display that our son made a few years back. It's dusty, but...
I love it when sharp shadows explain the structure, as does this. It's neat how it stands out, when the subject line is less defined with the car shapes and all.
Perfect shadows, like echoes of the little boy that has now grown up.
What a sweet reminder of those treasured days. Lovely photo :)
made me a bit teary!
Oh! I dread that day and yet celebrate it. My boy is 18 and a senior in high school. He drives now, so is gone a lot. I already find myself grieving the loss of that little child who is now a young man.
A lovely tribute you have posted here to that inevitable rite of passage when he leaves the nest.
That is really very sweet and a tinge sad~Nice shadows and memories too.

Great shot - and great shadows!
What a beautiful thought and memories. The toys and the shadows; lovely composition.
Great shadow of the plane, it looks like it is actually flying.
Sometimes the things that remain, turn out to mean the most.
A Mother's memories to dust forever...
Well done - there is always something to be found if you look for it.
Something will always remain... :-)
Oh Dimple, such a poignant shadow shot! I bet you miss him! :)
This is a lovely photo...brings so much memories for you I bet.
That is a lovely shot with lovely memories for you. Love the aeroplane!
Love that shadow of the airplane!
lovely toy collection and the shadows are cool!
Some things you have to keep.
Ditto the shadows. They are effective!
Nuts in May
Yes that's true and it's hard to get rid of them.

Thank you for visiting and commenting on my Mellow-post! What a lovely thought and photo you have for this week's Mellow Yellow Monday.
I have a son that is seven and I daughter that is five. I am constantly thinking about the small changes in them and how one day they will be grown and this time that is NOW will only be a memory.
Hugs

Love this shadow! The toys must be a sunny shelf. :)
Good thing you still keep them!
Your post reminds me when i came home from overseas. My Dad gave me this box full of my toy cars. I gave it to my son!
Happy Thanksgiving! Please check out Our last days in Korea

This may be a repeat, but I think I clicked to go back to your main blog before my other finished posting...I had commented on getting three memes with one photo--great job.

Woww.. that surely brings a lot of memories. Nice toys
I love kids' toys. Nice that you still have these.
Wonderful shadows and nifty kids toys ;-)
Happy MYM ... wonderful memories no doubt!
Hugs and blessings,

It is so thoughtful he left reminders of another time for memories.
That yellow prop just pops out in this picture. :-)
Thanks for visiting my MYM post. Have a great week.
i think they are priceless dimple.
my boy{bernie] still remains and i have it not in my heart to give away his motorcycle models.
i just don't think that younger kids would look after them...more than likely break them!
those toys left behind by the boys will be treasured heirlooms for the boys children and grandchildren, eh?
i can't find your ruby tuesday, AGAIN!.. hahahaha...love terry
It's cool that you've kept it like that. ;)
What a lovely shot with it's shadows and reflections and tender memories. Beautiful.
Beautiful veteran cars and plane, made for exhibition more than for play, I guess.
My husband has similar models in his home office. He's a boy of 60!
Many outstanding qualifications in this picture.

My son would have loved that airplane lamp when he was younger. (These days it's all soccer, all the time. That and Harry Potter.)
what a lucky boys!

OH that is really happen when your kids are growing... Happy Ruby Tuesday.
Mine is here
Yes, those things carry such great memories:-)
It must bring a smile just to dust and remember that little boy.
The shadows in the photo are wonderful. They add meaning to the shot.
I love the way the memes dovetailed together for you and inspired me!
Thanks,
Sherry
This makes me remember to appreciate and enjoy my little guys in all their messy glory while I can. They grow up too fast! Lovely photo.
