Weekly Wrap Up 8

Once more, we have come to the end of a week full of fantastic art! 109 entries, in fact!

8 weeks, everypony. We've now been at this for two months - and with the original ATG for a month before that! Three months, we've been doing this.

It's hard to believe, isn't it?

And yet - it isn't.

I say that, because we've seen the improvement of those who have stuck it out for this whole ride. Some rapidly, some more gradual - but improvement nonetheless. We've seen our humble group of ragged and weary ATG veterans expand to a teeming throng! We've seen our weekly entries break the 100 barrier, and I know we'll continue to do more.

You are amazing, everypony, and don't you forget it!



Now, rambling is going to commence. Feel free to skip it for the art!



So, seasonal ponies! This whole thing made me think about the seasons, and which might be my favorite. The problem is that each of them has something to offer. Spring (while short and tumultuous here in Colorado) is quite nice - all new growth and the awakening from winter. But then winter is pretty good, too - there are so many activities and holidays as it gets colder; and one can't really beat a good snow. And, of course, summer - all barbecues, pools, and warm sunshine.

But for my money? Fall is where it's at.

There's just something about it. Maybe it's the crisp air that's warmed just enough by the sun to be refreshing and comfortable at the same time. Or the changing of leaves; a visible reminder of time's slow passage, heralding the end of the year with a riotous display of color.

Taken all together, there's something wonderfully melancholy about it that I just love. It puts me in the mood to think about events and people now passed; the good and the bad both worn smooth by the passage of time.

So, what's your favorite season? While you're thinking about it, have some ponies :)
