Summer Photo Hunt Chatter Thread

Fewf, I have been having a lot of *feelings* about patriotism this year...but I really liked this! Was a great challenge despite the cursing as I lined up all my WonderboltsTough because they balance on three legs and would all fall down like dominos!
 
Got my photo out. Yikes! That cement was very hot. I couldn't find any little flags this year. Oh well.
 
@Leave a Whisper (lol) That's Player. I hadn't realized she'd fallen down until after I had taken the photo. XD;;

I was having trouble lighting the sparklers (I just had a cheap dollar store lighter and it didn't work well), so thankfully my mom was there to help me and she was able to light them. But the sparklers went down so fast, and were just so hard to light in the first place, I didn't want to do another re-shoot, so... ...poor Player stays laying down. ^_^;;

edit: ...Player was played out XD;;
 
oh and I forgot about sneaky-points I bet there is a way to print out a fireworks picture and make it the background - heck put it on your computer screen on your laptop or your ipad or phone (will need a second camera admittedly) and have the ponies gathered all around ;-)

Uhh... Yeah, cool!

I happened to put "Flags From All Over The World" rather than just the country I'm in because all countries should be celebrated!

(((Basically, all Developed Countries are in better shape with the Deadly Corona Virus Pandemic because they handled the situations better than the country I'm in. We can Learn From other countries)))

Hopefully my explanation explained why I used my IPad, though that maybe just sneaky points, lol! Either way, I followed my <3 heart. :flutter2:

Yes, thank you :star: I am not the only one here with mixed emotions ;)
 
I had so much fun with this challenge! I went hunting for more décor and ended up with a ton of tiny flags for cupcakes that were perfect for my parade! And I even made tiny pony sized bunting to hang between the buildings! Ah!

I like the perspective of this practice photo I took before putting the fireworks in, but you can't see enough of the picnic.

Incidentally the flag that Tex is holding at the head of the parade was given to me by my dad at least 28 years ago. It became the flag flown at the pony bank and I've kept it in my pony bins all these years. I can't believe what good condition it's in!

Yay Independence Day!!

It looks great! <3
 
I'm sorta disappointed the firework I grabbed for Action Hank didn't work. It was a chicken, and sparks fly out its butt when you light it up! Unfortunately my clucker musta puckered, 'cause there was no real flame. Dangit. So he picked something more manly and got a MIGHTY FLAME!

Still, a chicken with sparks flyin' outta its bootie! THAT'S CLASSIC COMEDY GOLD!

Unless you're the chicken.

(Added in edit) Can you believe he trusted me to light the firework? Most people don't let me near fire for some reason...

Whew, I'm so glad my boyfriend found some sparklers at one of the supermarkets this afternoon. The food you can see on my photo are typical buns baked days before the 1st of August, our national holiday: https://www.helvetickitchen.com/recipes/1-august-weggli. Also very popular for Swiss National Day garden parties are disposable red plates and cups made from cardboard with the Swiss cross, the red tea lights and of course the 1st of August fireworks displays all over the country.

My boyfriend baked some 1st of August buns yesterday especially for this task, as the ones sold in supermarkets and bakeries contain dairy and eggs. :D

edit: ha ha, I only saw one cat on the photo when I selected it, now I looked at it again in full resolution and I've spotted another one of my kitties, just below the other one, looking rather shocked. :lolpony:

@Leave a Whisper ,

Who is that pink pony both with wings and a horn at the bottom right of your photo in Task #4? She seems a bit different to everyone else.

Also that picnic with the miniature food is super cute!


She's a fakie and thank you. :)
