In Search of Fairies

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!

  1. 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.

    Not too sure about that lizard. Maybe it was real, once upon a time?!

    1. 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.

  2. Love these images
    I 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

    1. 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:)

  3. Love 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. ;-)

    1. Hey 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.

  4. I've done the same thing, being a fairy freak (though I did it in Wales, the supposed fairy capital of the world).
