While posting a new line of prints for our shop, my mind started to ponder the lives of carousel ponies. Surely they have seen it all! In our last visit to the great State Fair of Texas, we stood for ages just watching the story of life unfold on this majestic old carousel. We tried to capture the "forever young" thrill of a carousel ride in our shots. We were charmed as we watched the carousel spin with folks from 1 to 99. Lovers rode side by side, holding hands. The fearful tears of babes turned into squeals of delight! Teens rushed rudely by to snag their chosen mount, then shyly looked round the crowd as they worried about their "coolness" factor. Truly a classic experience with which we can all relate. I read the horse's names, and fancied images in my mind of the lives they've led. Oh, if they could talk........
