Good morning from sunny cool Hastings day.
Yesterday I had to go and help my father sell his wooden toys at a market in Napier so here is my post today. I will post photos tomorrow of his work. He is very talented and does well selling his toys. My mother is not really helpful with money but enjoys meeting people, even if she says the same thing 20 times in an hour. But she is proud of what Dad does and that is what counts.
So the Daily Post prompt is converge.
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_photo_challenge/converge/
This week, explore the ways lines and shapes can converge in interesting ways through photography. You can take the theme in a literal or an abstract direction, as you see fit — from a photo of a byroad merging into a busy highway to an image of an airport terminal where people from all over the world form hectic, ephemeral communities.
I decided to use nature to show how these native fern leaves converge at the top.

Thanks for visiting.
My father did a lot of woodworking. We lived in a house with a big rough basement. It was full of saws and sawdust and other big machines that made a lot of noise. No wonder he was sent to the basement. lol
I don’t remember him making any toys but he did make lamps and tables etc.

Dad had always been creative with his hands but since he retired he has done more and more. His workship is the garage – he kicked the car out. 🙂

I’d love to see his toys. Wooden toys are wonderful and so much nicer than many modern toys.

You were much more successful than I was with the fern, I had to give up and try something else. Yours looks just right and the light behind it is gorgeous.
