596. toys in the garden


walking along
slowly, and all of a sudden
standing still
*
still as stone
always poised for action
superheroes




(I saw this collection of action figures, along with many other tiny toys, creatively ‘planted’ outside in a garden. While taking some pictures, I saw a passerby, walking her dog, stop with a toy in hand, carefully placing it down just so.

We love our toys! For as long as play has existed humans have been making toys and dolls in some form or another. Play encourages learning, creativity, and discovery. Remember to play. “Play is the highest form of research”— Albert Einstein)
