'Dinosaur' on the Beach

12/15/2024

Centuries passed, and stories of the giant dragon skull on the beach faded into distant memory. Until one day, after another massive storm, there it was again. But dragons had become a thing of myth and legend. People no longer believed in the existence of dragons, and it was assumed the skull was some kind of extinct dinosaur. News spread, and people came from far and wide to see the curiosity on the beach.

It took on the air of a circus side-show, complete with food and balloon vendors....

A Sunday afternoon stroll along the beach took on a whole new air of excitement...

..as everyone had to come and take a look....

..at the huge 'dinosaur' skull...

People came from far and wide to see it for themselves....

Old and young alike.

Some even brought along a picnic...

..so they could just sit and relax, and watch the goings on...

Wonderful and so much fun!! All the Victorian era characters in their finery coming to see the giant dragon skull are so colourful and "real". I love it!

It is quite amazing (and impressive) to see what an unusual find during a visit to a Value Village store can turn into once your creativity comes into play!

Thanks so much! This was the most elaborate of all the photo shoots on the beach, with eleven dolls, and all kinds of props. It was also the last one (they were photographed out of order) since I was waiting for the perfect lighting.

Yes, when I saw that skull at Value Village I immediately thought of a few possible photo ideas with it, but the full extent of the story developed on it's own later. And the two dragon back stories idea came even later, and that meant still another trip to the beach for additional photos for the Willie and Winston scene.

Anyways, I'm glad you are enjoying it, since there's still more to come.

I wish one of those time travelers could pop in and tell them the truth of the great Drako race of dragons.

No, it has to stay somewhat 'believable'.

I am loving this story. One generation's relic is another generation's curiosity. I always enjoy seeing Baby Sena. She is adorable!
