Maple Melody

Happy Nightmare night everypony! With this done it's been a whole month of photography, I've had a ton of fun meeting with you every day to share. Now, there's always somepony out there who dresses as a skeleton for Nightmare Night so I was betting on that for today's photo. Even if not there was sure to be bony decorations on display somewhere in town, but look at this! I have no idea how she did it but she looks like a real moving talking skeleton, I begged her to tell me what spell she used but she was great at acting! I swear she looks like something straight out of O&O!

This one took a bit of planning but I knew I had to have a whole room full of friends for a prompt like 'Sleepover'. Look at all these familiar faces, from top to bottom we have Umber Echo, Paint Bucket (Though I asked her to wash the paint off before getting near my bed, hehe), Silk Sherbet, Lemondrop Comet, Amaryllis, Trail Winder, her pet squirrel Chestnut, Gypsum, and of course little Mango Juice. Leave it to the bats to gum up my plans of taking a photo of everycreature sleeping (I had to pretend to sleep for so long before this!) but it's still a great keepsake.

With fall cool chasing summer heat of course the weather ponies need to use a lot of clouds this time of year. I hiked up one of the hills outside town to get a better shot of the towering buildup this evening, there's always such artistry around here in the mix of wild Everfree weather and our own pegasi shaping the systems around it. In fact I think I might spy somepony who slipped into my photo as I'm writing this..

Of course I had to go to the corn maze for today's prompt! I wandered around for a while until I felt sufficiently lost and snapped a photo. Now I just have to find my way again, how hard could it be? I guess I could always just teleport home if it gets too bad, haha! But I'm no cheater, I'll stick it out.

As far as I knew I didn't have an attic, but my home has a peaked roof so there had to be at least a little space up there. I didn't really think much about it til now but this prompt made me curious. After a little bit of magical investigation I ended up teleporting myself up there and I think I see the issue, haha. No wonder they didn't cut an entrance for this anywhere, the saw's still waiting right here. Too bad it's all rusty now..

Before I could even start my day this morning there was a banging at my front door. I went to grab my camera on the way, just in case, but I couldn't find it? But guess what? Standing at the door was Pinkie Pie with my camera in hoof and this photo at the ready. She said she was sorry that she didn't know how to aim my camera in reverse (whatever that means) but her pinkie sense was telling her she needed to do this or the day would be ruined. I don't really get it but I think we've all come to accept that in Ponyville, it's more fun this way.

Another day where I just kept my camera in my saddlebags, but that was the plan from the start today. I took a photo of the first strange thing I saw, which happened to be when I went to ship off a package at the Ponyville post office. I'm used to our mailmare Muffins, but why is there a griffon and a dragon crowding around the counter too? I think the griffon seems familiar, she said her name was Gabby, but nopony knew anything about this dragon courier? Called herself Mara and acted like she owned the place. Poor Muffins seemed just as lost as I was, but I'm hoping my package still makes it out safely.

Day 24: Leaves

One of my favorite little fall traditions I've brought to Ponyville is fried maple leaves. Yep, they're edible and delightfully subtle! But to make them truly shine you need a specific species and a lot of patient prep time. These leaves were harvested from one of the two Neighponese maple trees I've grown in my grove, and I cured them in salt before I cooked them in a light batter following their local festival traditions.
