My dear Peter,

Such a wonderful excavator, and an excellent image!!

It is a very precious gift for Ela!
Some times the words are not enough to tell some things!!
Thank you so much for the nice sharing!

Love Füsun

My dear Füsun,

Thank you so much for your very kind words here, and more particularly for sharing your wonderful photo of Ela to go with it. One would not have existed without the other!

Love Peter

Hey, that's a great picture of this totally awesome toy! :D Wonderful, I love it!

Thank you Janet

I am very pleased that you like it. I did spend a while trying to find a pose which looked meaningful, but I think the one of Ela says it all..

Hi Peter,

I followed the link and Ella is gorgeous. I wonder what she will do when she grows up! I think Sophie would like to have a go at a digger ;-)

Best wishes, Rosa.

Hi Rosa,

Thank you so much for visiting, and for your wonderful comment. Ela would be so happy
Of course we would all like our children and grandchildren to do so well in their lives. All we can do is give them a good and varied upbringing. Perhaps one day Ela might follow in Sophie's footsteps and ride horses, or maybe drive steam locomotives.. Who knows!!!!

That excavator looks so much more convincing than those plastic or even metallic toys sold at stores! Wonderful design!

And absolutely beautiful portrait of Ela!

Thank you so much Sami,

I am really pleased that you like the excavator, as well as its picture. In our day things were built to last. Perhaps one day Ela will be able to share the fun with her own children..

Hello Peter great light here on the very new looking digger .. i am sure it will looked well played with shortly one set to work in the dirt by Ella

Best wishes ... Steve

Hi Steve ,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
I am pleased you found it interesting.
I did try many ways to get this photo, finally settling on a long exposure (so as to not freeze the flashing lights on top, and show them better), illuminated by a LED hand held inspection lamp.

Best Wishes, and a Good Weekend,
Peter
