Heading Home

4/19/2016

It's been extremely difficult to take doll photos in the scillas this year. The 'problem', if you can call warm, sunny days a 'problem', is that clear blue skies are not ideal for doll photos. I managed a few last week when it was a bit hazy the one day, but it hadn't been good since.  And the flowers continue to grow, especially with the warmer temperatures. I had planned on using my horse in the next set of photos, so had made some 'Native' accessories for him; an appropriate blanket, some beaded, fringed medallions; and I borrowed a 'bearskin' and a quiver full of arrows.

Then yesterday evening there were a few clouds developing, so we went to try a few more photos. With the sun low in the sky, and the occasional cloud, I managed a few more pictures of my Indian mother and daughter, heading home through the woods carpeted with blue flowers....

Thanks so much! It's always a challenge coming up with something new to shoot in the scillas each spring, and this year it's been especially hard. I'm so glad you like them. I was really happy with the pictures too.
