Travel #18: London

 “I like the spirit of this great London which I feel around me.”

 – Charlotte Bronte, 19th-century English novelist and poet. This London quote is from her novel, Villette.

This Blythe doll is Prima Dolly London, so of course she was the one I chose to take to Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, for some pictures in the England section of the park. I’m still getting the hang of taking doll pictures outside…holding the doll in one hand while holding my phone and taking the picture with the other can be tricky! I snapped five or six pictures and hoped for the best, but I don’t like her pose here (I wish she was angled up more, as if looking at the clock, and her arms should be back more than they are) but I expect to get better with practice.

St. Patrick’s Day, part 2

 Here’s one more picture from Amaryllis’s day at Busch Gardens.



Travel #17: Ireland

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Amaryllis in Dublin!

This Blythe doll is Prima Dolly Amaryllis. She’s actually posing at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia. It’s a theme park that is divided into half a dozen European countries. In this picture, we are standing on the bridge into Ireland. Yep, I bravely brought two dolls with me to the park that day! If anyone gave me a strange look, I didn’t notice. I added the cute shamrocks in PicCollage. This is for the “Travel” Blythe a Day group on Flickr.
