Gobstopper Mining

Not an easy job this one, Gobstoppers are one of the hardest materials known to man, woman or lego.

Awesome work Sarah Once again

 

[~Sam~]

That's Amazing, Sarah - what a great idea and doesn't look like an easy one to make look so great Made me chuckle!

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks both, the hardest part was breaking the gobstopper!

 

[Sonriendo]

Oh, Day 13 is excellent - I can't remember the last time I had a gobstopper

 

[JakeT1992]

That gobstopper mining is cracking idea! Really creative!

 

[whipspeed]

Sarah, don't try, they are huge!
Jake, thanks. Went over to see my son in Leicester and they have a brilliant big toy shop, so bought a few different figures to play with over the year

 

[JakeT1992]

I really want some lego to build! I miss being young and building massive things!

 

[whipspeed]

Never too old to buy toys We had a great time in the shop, I even got some marbles

I find it too hard not to spend all my money on films!

My mum has a massive collection of marbles and pine cones, so I've always got a bit of choice lying around the house!

 

[whipspeed]

Excellent I've got lots of bits & bobs from junk shops for still life stuff as well, plus a few pine cones

[Cg_Girl]

Fantastic Sarah... seriously made me laugh

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks both, Carol, my hubby says I tread in more horrible things than he does as I walk along looking up

 

[MWHCVT]

Today's photo is utterly fantastic

...thought that was a (rude) typo at first Matt - then I realised that you must be folically challenged like me....

Oi... and I'll have you know I am, the challenge being it grows far too fast for my liking :shake:

 

[SamuelSlade007]

[whipspeed]

Matt, Frank, thank you, glad you enjoyed the shot. I'll have to get some of my other figures out

In the bleak mid winter

So cold today, thought I'd go to the top of the valley to get a view across the snowy fields. Didn't stay out of the car for very long as it was way too cold.

lovely landscape - nice composition

 

[Sonriendo]

What the fish said

Nice spot to revisit at other times of day and seasons - I am just a tiny bit jealous of the snow

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks both, Sarah, don't be jealous, it's horribly cold and it's that nasty damp sort of cold that really makes you feel miserable if you are out in it.

 

[SamuelSlade007]

Thanks both, Sarah, don't be jealous, it's horribly cold and it's that nasty damp sort of cold that really makes you feel miserable if you are out in it.

We appear to be having the warm snow variety.... Its shorts weather really..

Beautiful shot. Isolated three trees. Vast open plain. Slight incline in the distance.

 

[whipspeed]

Thank you, but shorts weather!!!!!! Just looking out of my window & where the sun had melted a bit of snow an hour ago, it's now frozen.

Yeah...honest... If its going to be like this Saturday for the zoo trip .... I might dust off the Hawaiian shirt..??

 

[whipspeed]

LOL, you'll frighten the animals!

 

[SamuelSlade007]

LOL, you'll frighten the animals!

I'll be hiding in the tall grass....they'll never see me til I'm running past them ....!!

 

[whipspeed]

LOL, which Zoo, I'll keep my eye on the news

 

[vince31]

Nice wintery shot sarah !! very sharp and it looks bloody cold

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks Vince & spot on, it was bloody cold

 

[SamuelSlade007]

Its the whipsnade meet...apparently the animals could do with pepping up...

 

[ShoeQueen]

Simple but beautiful - love it Sarah.

No snow here - they say we may get some by the weekend.

 

[Cg_Girl]

Gorgeous composition And landscape Sarah!

 

[~Sam~]

Very stark in a very good way. I love it for it's simplicity and those three trees are perfect - great composition.

 

[carolthomasburns]
