The first thing that popped into my head when I thought of the word "tiny" is baby toes, the color pink, and soft cuddly blankets.
However, when I pondered it longer, it occured to me that "tiny" is a relative term, and that it doesn't apply continuously to one object. An object is classified as tiny only when it is compared to something that is much larger than it. For example, a koala bear is indeed tiny if you compare it to an elephant. But if you compare a koala bear to an ant, than the ant is tiny. Something that is tiny in one circumstance may not be tiny in a different circumstance.
Another stereotype of "tiny" is that if it is tiny, it's probably cute and cuddly and happy and warm and contented. But maybe it's not?
Have you ever wondered what being tiny is like? If they feel like all is right with the world?
The tiny ones look up at the giant obstacles and wonder how they're ever going to climb them. How they can defeat something so big and scary.
Sometimes being tiny...
is terrifying.
Really cool pic.
