 All parents know that some toys tend to lose favor with their kids and eventually just disappear (with a little help from Mom & Dad). I was working in the yard and couldn't help laugh at the baby stuck in the bushes.

Pic was simple - focus on baby, tilt camera to side to capture family, angle camera to give it a differnt perspective. Fun part was I was not looking through the view finder (too many ants on the ground - I hate ants!). :-)

Post Challenge: Ouch, tried to be a little different and got slammed. I had one of those boring "look up a tall building" pictures and thought why be like everyone else. Now I know why - to get the points!

Thanks to those who commented and enjoyed the uniqueness of the shot.

Interesting picture. I always wondered about missing toys. The dolls expression really adds to it.
