Just an FYI

I'm currently doing some construction on this blog so I can get rid of my website (which I hardly update). So please be patient if this page goes down or the formatting is a little screwy.

Poco's Starry Night is a beautiful black pinto pony. This guy is a commission for someone I met in Chincoteague.

There and Back Again - Part Four

On our last full day of Chincoteague we went to the beach, saw more ponies, and enjoyed the carnival.

A bird running from the waves...

The surf...

Our feet...

An egret

Misty....and...

Stormy!

A pony in a pen behind McDonalds...

 The carnival...

A booth that sold anything you'd need for your new pony...

 Waiting to see who won Queen Neptune...

And the wonderful food!

There and Back Again - Part Three

Our third day of Chincoteague consisted of more pony ogling and the Feather Fund Auction.

We checked out where the Pony Swim was going to happen...

If only we had dock seating...

 This would be packed in the morning...

 An aptly named street...

Then we took off to Assateague and met Copper Moose and his bodyguard, Ken...

Surfer Dude and his son Riptide had a conversation...

Later we went to the Feather Fund Auction and found this along the way...

 Lois and her auction crew...

 The first lot of the day...

My mom is really a picture ninja...

Ajax!

 A pretty sunset...

 And a hint about some of tomorrow's pictures...

There and Back Again - Part Two

On our second day of Chincoteague we saw the ponies rounded up on Assateague and we went shopping!If you ever get a chance to visit check out the Breyer store - it's the most reasonably priced place I've ever been to!

A pony penning tradition, a showing of Misty...

I love the design of the marquee...

Misty and Me...

A cute little foal...

Another one...

More ponies...

And a cool little sign...

Keep a look out for day three! As always the pictures are taken by my wonderful mother, who, if all goes to plan will have a blog for her photos sometime today.
