I'll start with a few. I had over 300 die cast (poor man's Jay Leno) but had to get rid of them after moving to our condo.

A more recent toy, but not new. 2005 Honda VTX 1300. Bought it new. Still ride it.

p.1. Nice shot, and enjoy the ride!

Great start, Pat, and I know we still have at
least one Tonka truck buried down in the basement
somewhere, but in the mean time, here are
just some of the 50 or so cast "collector" cars
my mom purchased over the years.

PS Thanks for hosting one again, Pat!

p.1. Nice set of cast model cars. They are fun to look at and offer reminders of what was once the latest in autos.

Simplest toy of all.... a pile of leaves.

p.2. Leaves, yes. Fun, yes. Just had some kids playing in them last weekend.

These are three from a series I did on Mobile Home Park Life.
The second shows the pure pride and joy of this little boy showing off his outdoor kitchen and the first, my interpretation of the feeling of an abandoned toy. The third shows the magnitude of our toys in relation to the rest of our possessions.

If anyone is interested, the gallery of photos is here. https://pbase.com/robertl594/all_jpegs

These are copies of photos from my youth made digital to save.

This brings back great memories. I remember my brother and I getting BB guns one Christmas.

Wow. These are wonderful. Another trip down memory lane. My very first car was a 1954 Ford.

Good fir you! Love the color.

Thank you. I wasn't sure about the color at first but over the years I've received a lot of compliments on the color, especially from females. It leads me to ask "Why didn't I buy a bike this color sooner?" and "Where the hell were you girls when I was single?"
