The theme this week is tiny and one definition of tiny is minature or “mini.” As I was perusing my photo collection, searching for something tiny, I couldn’t find or think of anything. so, off I went with my trusty Olympus for a photo hunt walk. The first thing I found was this sign that advertised a “mini” preschool through its name.
*I knew that wasn’t what I wanted but if I got desperate, it would do in a pinch. Ü
Walking a few blocks more, I saw this ‘tiny’ Mustang. . . well, it is a lot smaller than the car it depicts!
OK, OK ---- I know I am acting desperate. I couldn’t find a thing besides those two sleazy entries. I walked back home sulking.
BUT WAIT! Here I am home and staring at the wall, wondering if I should just decline this week’s challenge. The rules state you can do that occasionally and still be considered a participant.
But wait!!!!!!
THERE IT WAS right in front of my eyes ---- I probably have a 100 or so minatures in my 2 printers trays!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I did it!!!!!!!!!!!! See all those mini (tiny) items? I know, you need a magnifying glass to make some of them out. That qualifies me for this week's entry of MINI.
Alright, I will chose a few to focus on which represent my interests.
Starting at the top left; I weaved the mini palm and it reminds me of what Jesus did for me; the tiny starfish is from the ocean that I love so much; the cookie sheet with mini cookies represents my cookie cutter collection and years of memories making cookies with my children and grandchildren; the bottle of sand represents my love of the beach; the sled represents that I LOVE SNOW; back to the top - my pin from the Oregon Marathon in which I finished walking the whole distance two years ago; the mini sampler of counted cross stitch represents one of my hobbies; the mini flag represents my love of country; and last but not least is the Jade bear with a Salmon in its mouth that represents the 19 day trip to Alaska that I was privileged to take one summer.
All these mini/tiny things from my printer’s trays represent ME!
I do indeed have tiny things for a photo for my entry this week!

How cool! It was right under your nose! Great for the challenge! My photo is up, please come and visit
When you search hard, you cannot find. But when you are not searching is when it was right under your nose. Great photos, all of them. I got a chuckle out of the "mini" school. Have a great weekend, and thanks for sharing.
Great shot. The mini Mustang looks so real. Wishing you a calm, happy and lovely weekend! http://crizlai.blogspot.com/2007/07/photo-hunters-tiny.html

Great one. I, too, had a V-8 moment as I realized as the local gaming store that I have plenty of tiny things like miniatures. I chose something else for my post, though. :)

My tiny photos.
That's alot of tiny things!
A lot of great pictures!!
You might have had to "hunt" a bit but you definitely got some great tiny little shots there!
I love that you told the story of your hunt and included those photos as well. It really added to idea behind photo hunters.
Your collection is very nice. I started one years ago but it was pitiful and I just kind of stopped. Maybe I should start again.

I like red cars, great collection of shots for the theme
Those were great little tiny things! I had a time when I desperately wanted my own printer's trays to fill up. It didn't happen then, but I still have a little longing for one such as yours!
I love all those meaningful items. I even like the other tiny items you found!
Awesome collection for tiny theme this week. Happy Hunting!

thanks for stopping by!
You *do* have a lot of tiny things!
Very interesting!!
Your collection of mini things was good but your choice and explanation of each of the special ones was fantastic! Wonderful.
I love when I'm thinking and thinking...and BAM it comes to me! Great shots, thanks for sharing!
You certainly put a lot of effort into this search and there it was right before you. Sometimes we can't see the woods for the trees.
Thanks for visiting
Wow. That really is an amazing collection.
What a neat collection and a fun way to remember! All your pictures are great!
Nice take on this week's theme!
Thanks for visiting mine!
Talk about not being able to see the woods for the trees! I had one of those printers trays as a kid. I wonder what happened to it - and all the tiny bits in it?
This post made me laugh.
GREAT take on the theme. :)
Thanks for your visit, I am glad I stopped by.
btw...really like the experimenting pic. The colors were really good. Have fun "coloring"
Lots go great mini/tiny items in those photos. Good stuff, thanks for visiting.
I love how you started with your entry and ended with a great finale. :) You have an amazing miniature collection. Thanks for sharing.
Many tiny things.. I have tried the printer's tray things, but I'm so anal, I can't ever decide what to put in them... I always want them to be super-significant... so mine is kind of super-bare! LOL!
I love the tiny mustang.. and all your little minatures. Great shots!
wow a collection of miniatures. Thanks for visiting
aren't the smallest treasures right there in front of us? Wonderful post for this wsek's theme. Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your kind comments.
Paulie.. I will add to the throng of comments here just because I love the pictures you chose!
The mini-preschool sign was perfect!
And I love your printer's trays. I see them on my antique forays but can never think what I would do with them.
Bet they're fun to dust.
