Another "kristi-ism."

This one took us forever to figure out. We would be leavin' a restaurant, and she would say, "I wanna pokin' teef." Huh? Finally, we figured out it meant "toothpick" and she calls them "pokin' teeth," because that is what you do with them -- poke your teeth with them.

Lovely macro and cute story to go with it. Kids do have a way of making one look at things in a slightly different way.

I love the words little kids come up with...too cute. This is a great perspective on an everyday item!

Excellent shot of toothpicks. I'm surprised how cool it looks. I guess you're just that good. The story is hilarious. My partner's neice is nearly 3 and it's always alot of fun trying to decipher what she's saying. And she loves to talk.

I love this shot because in the thumbnail it almost seemed like a sea anenomae (sp?) and then open it up and you understand what it truly is. I just find myself amazed at the crystal clear sharpness you achieve in your macros....Stunning (and I am v envious)

Oooh from your thumbnail I thought it was some funky flower. Make sure you write these words down somewhere. It took us forever to figure out that when the youngest said "honk-shooo", it meant snoring lol.

I didn't realize these were toothpicks right away - cool shot. It's great you're capturing those Kristi-isms in pictures!

Nice textures, I like the black background & border.

This has got to be the coolest image of toothpicks I have ever seen! I love the rich color of the toothpicks, and the arrangement of them is excellent as well. Very well done!

I can't believe the amazing macro images you get with you lens. Do you use a macro filter? The texture on the "pokin' teef" is wonderful!

As a man on a diet, I see a beautiful sculpture here...
of MacDonald's french fries.

Sorry,
This is really a neat picture. Can't tell what these are exactly, but I don't have to know. Good focus and my eyes keep moving round the whole image. Well done.
I wonder if you could have cloned out the little bit of uncertain background on the right side and the left-middle? Not much, but a little distracting.
