Snow Fairy

1/29/2019

I had to take advantage of yesterday's snowstorm to take the photo I'd envisioned of Kassia and the animals (which I'd made her wings for) and before the deep freeze settles back in tonight for the rest of the week. But with roads still impassible, I had to find somewhere on my own property.  The cedar hedge along the north side seemed about right, so I hauled out the slide-projector stand, put a board on top, and shovelled some snow onto it. Then posed Kassia and her friends...
Picture
I had to shovel some spaces into Jan's snow piles, so I could take photos from a better angle, and I had to pay attention that the horse especially, wasn't right in front of a really snowy part of the hedge, since I wanted him to stand out. Then I snapped photos until my hands got too painful from the cold, and I had to take everything back inside. But the resulting pictures were well worth it.....

a Piñata

1/28/2019

When we were at Party City two weeks ago, looking for candles for the Phantom photo shoot, I spotted a tiny unicorn piñata. Effie's birthday was coming up, and I was always on the lookout for something unique for the next birthday party, and this seemed perfect. Plus I thought it was funny to imagine a group of beautifully dressed little girls beating the candies out of a piñata!

"Look, my Mom got us a Unicorn piñata!"
Picture
"She's filled it with candies, and is going to hang it up..."
Picture
"..and then we'll take turns getting blindfolded, to try hit it and spill all the candies out.."
Picture
"Mom says that because it's my party, I should go last. So who wants to go first?"
