A Valentine Pony

Actually it's a colt - an 'Our Generation' colt. I was rather disappointed to hear that Target was closing all it's stores and pulling out of Canada, because I was planning on acquiring a few more breeds of horses there for my dolls. So we went to see what they had left during their clearance sale, and all they had left was just one Palomino colt. So Jan bought him for me (and my kids) for Valentine's Day. They all love animals, and were very happy to welcome him.....

He's definitely going to need a paint job, but that will have to wait
until summer. In the meantime my kids are thrilled.....

After checking out the new colt, Ringo continued on his way - he had a Valentine to deliver. He had developed a crush on a lovely little girl, but being the shy type, he was a little worried about how she would respond....but he was of the opinion 'nothing ventured, nothing gained....'

"Will You Be Mine?"

After making a little side-trip to the florist, Ringo continued on to his destination....

He knocked on the door, and was let in. Oh no! Ringo was horrified.....
ALL the girls were there. He suddenly felt very shy....

Oh well, too late to back out now. He took a deep breath
and stepped forward offering the rose to Holly

She accepted Ringo's rose, and they had a very nice time together.....

Thanks! I was a way all weekend, and had prepared this little story in two parts and stored it in 'drafts', with the intention of posting them over the two days I was going to be away - but I couldn't access my emails or Weebly in Windsor, so am posting it all in one tonight.

I think I have a crush on little Ringo! He's such a sweet, funny little guy.

LOL I know what you mean. He's turning out to be way more versatile than I ever imagined.

I'm absolutely in love with the Palomino colt. And little Ringo was very brave.

The little colt is so pretty no wonder the children were so taken with it.
But the star of this second photoshoot is little Ringo......what a little gentleman he is!
And wasn't Holly so lovely to accept the gift so graciously too *happy sigh* ((^_^))

This series of photos is a prime example of one idea leading to another, and another...... It started with a simple gathering of children around the colt. But I wanted someone with a heart box to make it look more like Valentine's Day. Then, I usually take some individual shots of the dolls in the main picture, so took one of Ringo by himself trudging through the snow. Well, that was so cute, it made me wonder where he was going, so I went outside again to shoot Ringo on his way with a rose (that he didn't have at first, so needed an explanation) and then had him arrive at the ‘house’ where all the girls were still set up from the ‘introduction of Holly’ scene. At first the series ended with Ringo offering the rose, but after sleeping on it (the idea, not the rose) I knew I had to take a final shot of the two of them together enjoying the chocolates. So, four separate photo sessions.

Thank you so much for that insight into the creative journey here, I just love how one thing led to another.

And I am so glad you didn't sleep on the rose! LOL!

Yes, I know just how that works. You take a photo and then that leads
to a whole new idea and another set of photos...

Yes, and then another idea, and another series of photos..... It seems to be happening a lot lately, and sometimes it's hard to know when to stop. My dining room table has never seen so much action!

I'm also not that happy to be trudging outside repeatedly when it's so ridiculously cold out there (it's 'warmed' up today to a 'high' of -10) But, photos aren't going to happen on their own, so.....
