I should probably start a new blog called The Refrigerator Door for this, but...

My daughter Miriam has built a lot of things out of Legos, but this one really blew me away. Maybe it's my own failure of imagination with other things she's built in the past, but to me these seahorses have a creative vision all their own apart from anything I've showed her how to do. When I saw them my first reaction was to think they were very strange and wonder where they could possibly have come from.

According to Miriam the one on the left has a baby inside. Interesting fact about seahorses: it's actually the fathers who incubate the eggs after they are fertilized, in a small pouch on their bellies. Miriam and I learned this from an Eric Carle book a while back, but I don't think she remembered it.
