Slugawug

This is Slugawug! My youngest daughter, Blakely, was playing in the yard after school today. I noticed her concentrating in the corner of our garden so I walked out to investigate. She had a little house set up with a bed, table, chairs... She also set up a restaurant and a complete road system with bridges and traffic lights! All for this little guy...Slugawug! I love childhood imagination!
This is a shot of Slugawug making a run for it on one of the bridges! You almost made it, Slugawug!
This is my high-key for the ONS4 Challenge! Here's the link!
