Rain in Florida is not unusual. What does feel unusual for me is rain lasting for days upon days. The rains we have been getting in the last couple weeks feel more like the rainy seasons we used to experience when we lived in Panama. The morning news has been full of flood advisories and warnings not to drive through flooded streets.
I decided to take another tiny Playmobil man out to the street/river in front of my house for a little creative photo shoot. The gutter must seem like a river when you are 2 1/2 inches tall!
All my clothes are now in the dryer….

My face hurts from laughing! 😂 great idea Mindy!
August 3, 2015 at 11:17 am
I must admit. I was giggling out loud when I was uploading the photos… 😉

I love that he even has an umbrella, which is normally used in Florida for sunshine!
August 3, 2015 at 11:16 am
His umbrella wasn’t doing much to help! It blew over twice and almost floated away!

Hilarious play with toys and great detail and composition to make for a delightful shot! 🙂
August 3, 2015 at 11:15 am
Thanks Ida! I have more surprises up my sleeve!
August 3, 2015 at 9:48 pm
Now why would I ever doubt that, Mindy?!? It wouldn’t surprise me if those little Playmobil characters showed up in your photos like “Where’s Waldo?” 😀

I love this! Ansley commented on the way home yesterday every time we saw a decent puddle…. =)
August 3, 2015 at 11:14 am
Luckily I was able to do it right in front of my house! 😉
August 3, 2015 at 11:07 am
Love it! … Of course I wish I’d been there to take a photo of you in the gutter TAKING the photo.
August 3, 2015 at 11:13 am
That would have been a funny shot P. My rain coat hat kept falling in my face and blocking my view. I probably looked like I was punching myself in the face. I ended up nearly flat on the ground and soaking wet. I tried not to make eye contact with the 1 car that drove past! Lol
August 3, 2015 at 11:22 am
Hmmm – I wonder what the neighbors think of you – hahaha! So cute. I love the creativity and the colors.
August 3, 2015 at 11:24 am
If they saw me out there I’m sure they think I’m a fruit loop! 😀
August 3, 2015 at 2:10 pm
If they don’t already
August 3, 2015 at 11:58 am

Thanks Sue, it’s been fun to think of fun things to try 🙂
August 3, 2015 at 8:16 pm

Thanks Morag… my shelf is starting to get crowded with all sorts of little people. 😉
August 3, 2015 at 2:24 pm

Thanks Vinnie 😀
August 3, 2015 at 3:56 pm
looks like you and the little guy caught a good one.
August 3, 2015 at 5:50 pm
It was almost the one that got away. I got all the way out there and realized I lost the fish on the way to the curb. I had to retrace my steps all the way back to the front door to find it!
August 3, 2015 at 6:06 pm
I think you should send your pics to the company– this was fantastic

With your new headline photo I can only image what we are in store for this year. The origainal one you posted last year introduced a fun element to this project and now these…you definately have my attention! I love ‘um.

Awww thanks Karen! I’m hoping to express a little more of my creative side this year. Along with some fun and silliness of course!

Thank you Marjie 😊

I love the picture, and the idea of the 52 weeks photo challenges. Does one normally start in January, or can they start in the middle (August for example)?
I love macro shots and yours is done to perfection.

Thank you Roxana 🙂

This is very creative and so cute. I love close up and macro type photography but I never really thought about using little people. I noticed your tag Canon 5D Mark ll I use the same camera most of the time. My 50D is my crop sensor camera and right now I need to send it into Canon the shutter button went out..
August 9, 2015 at 6:55 am
Thank you? Using the little people has been a fun way for me to change thing up a bit and bring some more fun into my project. I love my 5d. It’s been a real work horse for me.
August 14, 2015 at 1:28 pm
You know your are serious about something when brave the nasty weather for the “money shot!” Just when we all thought you would melt. lol I agree with Daisy, I think you should send this to Playmobil!
August 14, 2015 at 1:34 pm
Now we know I won’t melt!
August 17, 2015 at 12:30 pm
