Some afternoons are magic.
You let your feet lead you forward...
To a beautiful place...
Where you gather flowers...
And wishes...
And benches invite you to sit and stay...
But you dance around what you choose to believe is a fairy ring...
And skip stones...
And you make wishes...
And every wish is the same, "I wish to meet a fairy."
So you check for fairy hiding places...
And under bridges...
You find more flowers...
And a lizard (real or not real)...
Even the Easter Bunny makes an appearance...
But despite no fairies...it's still a really good day.
Hope yours is magical too!
I have been taking my little girls "fairy hunting" since they could walk. Glad I'm not alone. Love that tree, it looks like a really cool place to look.
ReplyDeleteNot too sure about that lizard. Maybe it was real, once upon a time?!
Awww, I'm glad you do that! I can't wait to have daughters (and sons) to take on fairy hunts. Heh, that lizard looked real and seriously freaked us out, but I eventually touched it and it was squishy...soooo not real.
DeleteLove these images
ReplyDeleteI still become fascinated by fairy hunts and whenever I see something in nature that's awesome, I try to capture a picture of it for later writing inspiration
Hi Trish! Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you like the images. That's exactly what I do--take pictures of everything that inspires me:)
DeleteLove the photos Frankie. I used to go to summer camp on a farm (uh, I went to many many sleepaway camps and this was just one of them LOL!), and I used to pretend that a field/abadoned wheelbarrow area was a fairy/time travel pit. And yea...I was 18. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHey Rachel! That sounds cool! I never went to camp and kind of wish I had. I love that you pretended there were fairies when you were 18! I'm in my late twenties and I still do that.
DeleteI've done the same thing, being a fairy freak (though I did it in Wales, the supposed fairy capital of the world).
