The Coronavirus killed travel over the past few months, so Ponies Around the World has migrated into the homes for hobbies instead! We kept the submit box open for any and every hobby with a pony involved, and now these are the results!
Expect another post with the rest tomorrow. Head on down below to see what your fellow pony fan is up to.
76 Starlight preps the rice! - DON2602
You know, prepping rice for either lunch or dinner is good for me, but it's always amazing to have a pony assistant to help you out. Isn't that right, Starlight Glimmer?
77 The Great and Powerful local news - DON2602
Looks like Trixie has found something to watch in the comfort of my home. What a "Great and Powerful" way to be informed!

79 Now Y’all Pay Attention - Kaipony

81 Kirin on Walk - Birdybird
The truth one of the hobbies I enjoy the most is tourism. Even though we couldn't go to any historical monuments, nature has many things to offer. These photos were taken in 50 km area from my home. Local nature has many things to offer.

Here is a picture of my Coco Pommel plush while I am grinding down some steel in the background. Got the plush on eBay. Working on my mini bike project.
88 Virtual choir - Minty Treble
I miss my choral family so badly… I have been singing with my college choir for almost 10 years no stop, but due to quarentine we had to stop going to rehearsal… fortunately we did a virtual choir during the past months, although I am still waiting for the final compilation

92 Twilights magical drawing lessons - Vanessa Magnifier
I love to draw! I'm currently exercise my drawings. It's fun and wonderful to put the images in my hand into reality! Rarity is one of my rolemodels if it comes to art and inspiration.

95 Showing Fluttershy Around My Garden (The Pollinator Patch) - Flutterbatty (NatureShy)
Took Fluttershy out to see my wildflower patch in my garden. It has a variety of native and non-native wildflowers and ferns, as well as pollinator attracting perennials. The hummingbirds especially love this area, and are especially attracted to the red & yellow western columbine flowers (a Pacific Northwest native).

98 Modular music making - CLICK FOR VIDEO! - h2g2guy
Modular synthesis is a combination of electronics and music making. Each owner of a modular synthesizer builds exactly the synthesizer they want, from individual parts they buy or build themselves -- in my case, I use modules in the Eurorack format.
For this event, I decided to make a short jam using some Rainbow Dash voice slices from Winter Wrap Up -- these are being replayed and triggered in the modular synth. I also added some drums and a bassline. This is far from my best work, but I didn't have much time to do something more sophisticated -- I plan to do more of this sort of thing, so let me know if you find this interesting!

100 Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer Diving with Australian Cuttlefish! - SeaSpray
For a few months a year during the winter months, the Australian Cuttlefish come to this breeding ground to mate and lay their Cuttlefish eggs.
On Saturday 20 June, I took Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer for some aquatic fun. The local Cuttlefish residents didn't really pay attention to the pastel coloured ponies in the middle of their breeding area.

102 Pony Zoom - Joni Koivisto
Ever since the mid March, when all this current craziness started worldwide, I've been having 1-5 conference call every weekday, so it's only natural that couple of my plushies became curious about that and wanted to try out video calls too.
103 - Silverwind Blade
Lockdown for the pandemic has meant I can't go and play airsoft, but it's still one of my favourite hobbies, and the sets of gear I wear have pony patches on them - so I represent every time I play.
104 - Silverwind Blade
I have been using the time I've had over lockdown to catch up on my model-making. I build static model aircraft in 1/48th scale - mostly modern subjects, and also modern military ground vehicles in 1/35th scale. I also dabble in Gundam models too. I figured Twilight, nerd that she is, would probably enjoy helping me out.
105 Pokemon Go Shy - Joni Koivisto
Fluttershy helping me with Pokemon Go. Those darn curve ball throws aren't always as easy as one might think.
106 - Silverwind Blade
I've used the time over lockdown to get plenty of model-making done. I build 1/48 scale modern military aircraft, and 1/35 scale model tanks and ground vehicles, and occasionally some Gundam mecha too.
Since Twilight is a big nerd like me, I figured she'd probably enjoy joining in!

107 Geo Flutter - Joni Koivisto
Fluttershy helping me with opening a geocache. She and I have been doing geocaching together for some time now and she's been a very big help with some of the more trickier caches. Too bad her talents with animals does not seem to work too well with mosquitoes.
108 Pinkie drawing and chilling - Arnold Gutierrez
Just a pic of my fav pony plush drawing stuff and there's a switch lite in there as well she plays with it and just chills every one and then, cute :3

Star Hunter spending his last chance before lockdown to play some games at Dave and Buster's, he's going to miss the arcades for a long time. (Photo taken before lockdowns.)
121 PUDDING - EddictedBrony
Twilight makes herself some more pudding despite it not being anywhere near Hearth's Warming Eve. Can't blame her for just having a sweet tooth.
122 Music Making - EddictedBrony
Vinyl Scratch and Neon Lights start on a new song together while under lockdown, a song probably about being under lockdown.
123 As colorful as the ponies - Chrome Thunder
One of my hobbies I've been into since 1990 is glass and porcelain insulator collecting. These separated telephone and electric wires from the poles to prevent "current leakage". While many are so common they're pretty much worthless, others that are extremely rare can have a 5 digit value. I'm not that lucky, but here's some of my most colorful ones from my collection of around 1,500.
The G1 pony is the one that got me started with MLP in 1983 (I was brony when brony wasn't cool).

127 Ridin' the Rails - Chrome Thunder
My oldest hobby is model trains, which I got into when I was 3 (1980) with my first HO scale train set. And of course when FiM came around, I started making some pony themed model trains, including freight and passenger trains, a model of the Canterlot depot, and a freelance version of.... Captain Hook the Biker Gorilla's house (you can find them on my DA page). I've had the trains setup briefly at a few cons (Midwest Brony Fest, Nightmare Nights Dallas, and HarmonyCon). Hauling blind bag size ponies like seen here.

149 Ponies Help With Art - Frith
3rd picture for pony hobbies around the world! Here in Grainbee, Kickbuck, Canterda (where most people speak Fancy), I do the Newbie Artist Training Ground every year. If I'm improving, it's very slowly! I barely manage a pencil sketch by the midnight (my time) deadline. My other hobbies are photography, pony collecting, reading, coin collecting and a bit of gardening.
