I'm so excited - today my Custom Mr. Freeze came in!!!! Today was actually a great day - Mr. Freeze, my Pteranodon and my Stormtroopers all came in! :) The Pteranodon is for an unrelated picture project, but I thought this was a fitting first shot with Mr. Freeze!

1st Flickr Group!
Today I didn't feel like taking pictures of Lego, but I still wanted to take a picture of something. Having missed the sunset, I wasn't really sure what I was going to do. But while straightening up my room I noticed my two Starcraft action figures (the Terran Marine and the Zerg Hydralisk) and I decided to go take a couple of pictures of them.
Back on Flickr, I went looking for a group to post these pictures on. But I didn't really like most of the groups as they were full of game screenshots and artwork (most of which is from Blizzard). So I decided to start my own group, which I have named Starcraft Toys. I have never run a group before, so this is going to be an experience (especially since there aren't a whole lot of people taking pictures of Starcraft related toys).

Red Bubble Site
After a lot of deliberation, I decided to sign up on Red Bubble! Red Bubble is a portfolio where I will be showcasing some of my photos. On Red Bubble, I am going to be featuring what I believe is my best work, both nature and Lego photos. If you are interested in buying a print, or would just like to check out what I consider to be my best, please visit me there!

Six New Galleries
I just realized that I haven't blogged about the last six galleries I've made on Flickr. So I'm going to remedy that now with a run through of all six.
The first one that I made was Crystal King. As the name implies, it features shots of the Lego Power Miners Crystal King. The gallery was made in honour of me getting my own Crystal King. Unfortunately there aren't very many pictures of the Crystal King on Flickr, so like my Stormtroopers! gallery, this one features multiple pictures by the same photographers.
The next gallery I decided to make was my Flower Macros gallery. The name pretty much explains the gallery; it is full of close-up flower pictures. All of the pictures were chosen from my Favourites on Flickr. Of all the galleries that I have made so far, this is my favourite. All of the pictures were chosen from different photographers.
While building Flower Macros, I discovered that I had a lot of insect pictures in my Flickr Favourites. That prompted me to build The Insect World. The Insect World features macro pictures of insects and is really quite interesting. Like the Crystal King gallery, The Insect World again has multiple photos from the same photographers.
If you've looked at The Insect World, you may have noticed that butterflies are missing from it (with the exception of the Luna Moth, which is kind of like a butterfly). Instead of including butterfly pictures there, I built a completely separate gallery entitled Butterflies! Butterflies! features both butterflies and moths, and again is chosen from my Favourites from all different photographers, mostly because these photographers have excellent photos of different insects.
The fifth gallery I made is called The Life Aquatic. It is a fun look at some of the amazing aquatic animals here on earth. I started building it from my Favourites but had to go looking for other pictures as well. The Life Aquatic features pictures of eighteen different animals taken by eighteen different photographers.
The final gallery, Rocks in the Water, was made today. I had just added a new picture of rocks in the water to my Favourites when I decided to look and see if I had enough pictures to make a Gallery. Sure enough I did, so I put those pictures together into the fifteenth gallery I have made on Flickr. Like most of my galleries all of the pictures featured in it were taken by different photographers.
I hope you enjoy all of these pictures as much as I do!

First Camping Weekend of the Year!
Last night I got back from my first camping weekend of the year! I had a lot of fun, fitting in lots of fishing, some swimming and even some biking. I posted 18 pictures onto Flickr, including Reflection in the Water (featured here). Hilariously, I brought a ton of Lego with me, but I didn't take a single shot with them! (I forgot a few figs I needed, plus the beach was absent due to the water being so high, which meant I couldn't take a few pics I've been itching to try!)

Minifigs!!!!
I really wish I could take credit for these guys but I can't. It all started a few weeks ago when I found custom Lego Masters of the Universe figures on Amazon. You could buy Skeletor and He-Man together. He-Man looked alright, but I really liked Skeletor. I lamented the fact that they were super expensive, then got the idea to make my own. I started shopping around for the pieces (I have the right blue torso for Skeletor, as well as a face and some hair for He-Man). But then I looked on Ebay and found a Skeletor that looked even better than the one on Amazon!
I was determined to buy Skeletor, and while looking through all of the custom figures sold by one guy, I found Spawn, whom I purchased at the same time as Skeletor, and the Lizard. I wasn't going to purchase the Lizard, but my brother talked me into it because he's so cool! Then when I went back to purchase him, I found Thor, whom I fell in love with! So I ended up buying all four minifigs in one night! They finally arrived today, and I was super excited, taking them all outside for some great shots. They're all just as awesome as I thought they'd be!!!!
I'm looking forward to a few more minifigs coming soon - I found a He-Man I liked (I decided it would be cheaper to get him than to make him as some of the skin coloured legs and stuff were expensive), and I have a Mr. Freeze on the way, too!
