Dollieh Sanctuary

I got inspired this morning. I looked outside and it was so pretty... I decided the boys would probably like to take a short adventure...



Nagi: Riou... are you busy?
Riou: Not really... why do you ask?




Nagi: We've been cooped up for a while, and it looks really nice out. I thought it would be nice to go outside for a bit.
Riou: Hmm... some fresh air would be nice.




Riou: What do you have in mind?
Nagi: It's a surprise...




Riou: Oh... we haven't been out here before.
Nagi: I know. I asked Yannie, she said it's okay as long as we don't go swimming.




Nagi: Wow, everything is so big out here.
Riou: I know...




Riou: Aren't there supposed to be fish in here?
Nagi: Yeah; Tasuki, Kyou, and Shin.
Riou: I wonder where they are...




Nagi: Help me spread out the blanket.
Riou: Okay.




Nagi: It's nice out here.
Riou: A little hot in the sun maybe...
Nagi: Oh, I don't want you to burn... lets go over on the other side, there's some shade there.




Nagi: Better?
Riou: Much, thank you.




*after some cuddle time*
"Hey! Guys!"



Momiji: Can we come out too?
Touda: Yeah! What he said!
Nagi: Ah... sure.




Touda: oooooooh!!!!!! *runs for pond*
Momiji: *catch* Oh no you don't! Those lily pads are NOT going to hold you.
Touda: aaawe!!!! -_-;
Nagi: Come on over here.




Nagi: Have a seat.
Momiji: oooh it's pretty over here.
Touda: Wazzat?
Riou: Cattails.




Touda: Cat tails? But... they don't look like Aiko.
Riou: Cattails are a plant.
Nagi: So much for our quiet time...
Momiji: sorry...




~finis~

that is a lovely pond, and momiji is so cute!

You know, it scares me how much Momiji looks like the manga character! I don't think I've ever seen such a perfect doll to character match short of a minimee. And I do believe I see one of the fish in that last photo - or is it something else just under the water?

This was a lovely story. I especially loved the blanket being carried, so cute.

leopardessmoon: Thank you. I put in the pond last year. I'm gradually adding to the landscaping around, and IN it. Momiji IS such a cutie.

Greyhaunt: I have to thank Kiki-chan for helping me find the right sculpt for Momiji. And that particular outfit was made for him by Zirconmermaid. ^__^

richila: Thank you. The blanket was made by one of my students for the boys.

I luvs Momiji!

Very nice pond. I just hope nobody falls in it.

Lovely story! So much for the solitude and quiet, lol. I can't believe you put that pond in yourself. I'd love a pond, but we have raccoons and they always eat any fish I have anywhere.

Dark Angel: isn't he a cutey? can be a bit of a brat though...

maywong: LOL, they better not. I don't want to have to take them apart so everything can dry out.

cirquemom: It took a bit of work, but has been soooo worth it. I was worried about raccoons and herons... but they don't seem interested with the real creek only 50 yds away. I did get cheap fish to test out the 'no fishing' theory. So far, so good. Even without fish, it is lovely to listen to the waterfall and I'm looking forward to getting more plants.

I'm not sure which I liked more - the story, the dolls or the pond!
