I wouldn't drink it, but it's not like it's pure sludge or anything. I try to be selective with which figures I put in the water, but I doubt it would do any lasting harm.<br /><br />Thanks! I take it as a compliment that I have a knack for matching toys with backgrounds. I tend to choose the ones I bring pretty willy-nilly, but when I see a shot that I think will work, I go for it. It's just fun to try things and see what comes out. And I like that Knuckles shot a lot too. The angle turned out well. That Bone Age guy on the reddish rocks is another one I like a lot. It's been years since I took that pic, but I still like it. It looks like he should be there.<br /><br />On a side note, those reddish rocks in that pic are on the side of a mountain in BC where you can go digging for fossils. We went there on the way to our camping trip. We didn't find anything too exciting, mostly leaves and maybe a fly's wing, but there's nothing quite like the feeling of cracking open a rock and seeing something for the first time in millions of years.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01454650838507365691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430434408539751644.post-81163026958677500962014-01-19T11:28:38.338-08:002014-01-19T11:28:38.338-08:00You and your beautiful scenery a "short drive...You and your beautiful scenery a "short drive away!" You've got like, the ultimate hike ALL THE TIME! <br /><br />But I digress. For some reason I love the water ones. Perhaps because I'm just too afraid to put toys in the outside water, though your Canadian wonderland apparently has the clearest water in the land! ...but hey, you can't ask much from the Detroit River, so you can't blame me for being paranoid of water.<br /><br />ANYWAY, you've got a knack for matching toy colors with the backgrounds! And of course matching the character with the surroundings - for some reason that shot of Knuckles just works great! Alexxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467443844522666834noreply@blogger.com
