It started raining and the children came to tell me: "They are going to get
rusty!"
I asked if they wanted to save the chairs, both answered yes.
I took this picture and showed it to them: "Now they will no longer get
rusty!"
The boy said: "But that's just a photo"
I replied pointing the photo: "But now these chairs will be OK forever"
The girl replied: "But your camera is going to get rusty!"
===
"get rusty" is OK? I've just noticed I don't know how to translate "enferrujar"...

thanks, my friends!
@Ciber, gracias. I believe my photo-work is maturing, it is not like I am creating/defining my own style, but now I can feel what works and what doesn't work in my pictures.

@Euz, but we keep our inner child alive, don't we?
