About the Boobies

 Darwin found these cute little dancing birds on the Galapagos Islands. The blue footed booby has bright blue feet, the healthier they are, the bluer the feet and the more successful and popular they are. They are known for their mating dance where they lift up their feet to display them to potential partners. I have evolved them further to give them brightly coloured bodies and feet.

 

About the Buildings

London is my town, I enjoy walking around looking at the buildings noticing all the little architectural details. London is changing, every day new buildings appear on the horizon. I love the contrast between old and new.

 

About the Dinosaurs

Everyone loves dinosaurs, sadly they became extinct but what would they be doing if they were around today. I have given each of these dinosaurs something to play with - which one is your favourite?
