This hunt has made me discover just how little resources I have when I'm not living with my parents. Just a select few of my ponies, hardly any of my other toys, nowhere nice to use as a backdrop for photos, no garden... *sigh*

So, I was limited to the ponies I had here for the picture. I had Minty and Butterscotch... but no third lolly themed pony with me. Moondancer and Twilight... again, all my other star/space ponies are at my parents.

I settled on Sugarberry, Applejack and G3 Applejack first off, then asked if I could have four ponies and also include Sweetberry for an even two apples, two strawberries. Only 3 was allowed and I decided to ditch G3 Applejack for Sweetberry because at least her name was marginally different from Sugarberry.

I figured how many days I had and was like "Cool, on Monday I'll go buy some strawberries and apples for the photo." Then on Sunday I realise that Monday is a public holiday. Which means about the only shop around the place that will be open is the small supermarket down the road.

So I had a change of plans. The weather this weekend is shocking so I figured when it rained I'd grab Firefly, Rainbow Dash and Parasol, set up an umbrella near the puddle that forms in the driveway and get a photo of rain/storm themed ponies playing in puddles in the rain. I had visions of raindrop ripples in the water and sparkles in the air - of course knowing my digicam I doubt that would have worked.

Rain WAS forecast for this afternoon but the sky didn't look hugely threatening. I decided to go to the shop anyway and grab the fruit. Apples were no problem but yep, strawberries are out of season and the small local supermarket had none. :( So I grabbed the apples anyway and did a bit of shopping and came home. I got my tube of shower gel because that has strawberries on it (I smell like strawberry shortcake after using the stuff) and figured I'd have that and a few apples. I went to open the bag of Starburst gummi fruits I bought, and it hit me - there was bound to be strawberry gummies in there!

So I set up my backdrop (old Christmas teatowel, at least the colours were right) and set up the shower gel and the apples and little piles of gummy apples and strawberries and took the photo. The one I've posted was the best, you can still some of my grotty kitchen in the background (I want a clean house!! *sobs*) but overall it's not too bad. And I discovered decorative borders in Paint Shop!

Oh yeah, and it didn't rain until after dark.
