Dim vales—and shadowy floods—
And cloudy-looking woods,
Whose forms we can’t discover
For the tears that drip all over:
Huge moons there wax and wane—
Again—again—again—
Every moment of the night—
Forever changing places—
And they put out the star-light
With the breath from their pale faces.
(Edgar Allen Poe)

Taken this afternoon 1/15/20 in Davis, CA of faerie on a friends backyard picnic table. Shot with Olympus PEN-F and Olympus 25mm f1.8 lens
What can you give to the faeries queen?
what could you present the daughter?
What could you give to immortal beauty?
To the never ending who've seen all age?
Gold is false, the hoard of Dragons
Perfumes fade in the breeze.
Oil to those whom magic posses
has no purpose to their needs.
Silk they have plenty
From spider weavers
Jewels pale in comparison
Of their faerie's face.
But yet in world,
Lies one simple beauty
That grows and dies
In one faerie Breath.
Ostespurnum
Fleeting in life
It's crown gazing skywards
Hidden to the night.
The worthy gift to faerie queen,
Flower befitting her daughter
There it shall sit in immortal bloom
For the Fae princess, her Tiara

Fantasy colourisation of the grounds at the Trentham Estate in Stoke-on-Trent, England. The property was owned by the successive Dukes of Sutherland until it was abandoned in about 1905. (The Duke could not even give it away.) It is now operated as an attraction for tourists and locals as well.

I shouldn’t have parked in the Passing Place, but I did. The area was deserted and it was a very long passing place. I could park and still leave room for a couple of cars to pull in. Apart from the metallic red MG HS. Ha! Typical. Hire car. I feel sorry for the foreign tourists arriving at EdinBURG airport, being given an MG. Made in China. Yes, some tourists must have found this spot. Had the Subway sandwich wrapper just fallen out of the door when they went walking or was it thoughtlessly chucked at the side of the road, as some do?
I guessed they had been off into the forest, yet all the footprints I saw were pointed downhill, back to the road. I was surprised they had found this trail. Perhaps they were now lost. But Google and Google maps don’t leave much hidden. Although someone had tried to block off the start of the trail by cutting down, and laying three trees across the path and then thickened it into a greater obstacle with more loose branches.
Jeez, whoever it is, must be a messy eater. The small piece of lettuce showed up vibrantly against the decayed and frost tinged oak leaves on the forest floor at my feet. But not much more than about five yards on was a piece of sliced tomato, it’s bright red quite obvious on the trail. I was breathing a little bit more heavily now. I had my camera gear on my back, and curiously I was carrying everything I wouldn’t need. Heavy Manfrotto tripod. Long, telephoto lens, macro lens, standard lens, winter survival kit (haha!) and more. But the view up the gorge was stunning, along its steep edges. I kept going on up, following the fairly faint signs of human passage. Hey, now a bit of golden brown crust, tossed and lying on top of the brown, frosty leaves. Another five yards uphill was a piece of pink pork. Ham. Messy buggers. I wondered exactly what sort of people they were, most likely tourists I suspected. Locals would never contaminate their home territory. I suppose there was a fair chance I might discover they are German, after all, it seems well over 50% of our booked B&B guests for the coming season are German. We never had a bad bunch. In fact we had a lot of fun with most of them. But these people trashing the place?
I carried on, up through the trees, as the gorge deepened to my right. A few times I ventured to its edge, very wary of the snow and ice along the side particularly once I spotted a fairytale waterfall plunging off the top edge, straight to the bottom about 70 feet below me. Still I carried on. Effie stopped and indicated she could hear voices up the hill. Huh, another piece of bread, and then another. Unbelievable. I checked Google map. Yes, I was getting near. I was surprised it seemed accurate in such a remote area. I would have switched to What3Words, a GPS system, if Google hadn’t given me the right vibe.
I peered ahead through the trees. No sign of movement. Yet. I steeled myself for the meeting. What would they be like? Apart from being littering interlopers? I was noticing small bits of bread regularly along my way. Further up I had to duck under low branches, and step over fallen saplings. The snow had been knocked off the horizontal surfaces by passing bodies. Now the track curved round so I could not see far ahead, and then unexpectantly it flattened and headed downhill slightly. The trees were twisted and bent into spooky shapes. There was a series of waterfalls emerging from the forest, four of them in a stack up the hillside on my left water tumbling down and disappearing into a hollow ahead of me. And then, in a patch of sunlight, something stood out, stegosaurus-like with vertical plates on its back…..no, wait, a bridge. Magical. Small, a faerie bridge. Wow! Such a surprise, to discover it way up the hillside in a forest in the middle of nowhere. It’s so surreal. Bizarre. Incredible. Small birds, robins, tits, etc flitted in and out of the sunlight, attracted by the handful of bread crumbs on the humped back of the bridge
I got my camera out, eager to catch it in the light as it fell. I wanted to include the waterfalls, but with a tangle of branches and tree trunks it was hard to find a clear view. I ventured down the stream that flowed under the bridge, and almost bumped into the young couple sat on a rock, enjoying the atmosphere of the place, while they had a snack. Being me, I had to speak, and we quickly fell into conversation. I had been right: German! They asked me a lot about the area and Scotland and I answered as best I could and made up answers when my knowledge failed me. Somewhere in the conversation they managed to establish I owned a B&B and asked where it was and what it was called. They were able to look it up on Google as we chatted. And they said they might like to book. I explained that the house is called “Innes House” after my name. And it seemed natural to ask their names. I thought she said, “Greta” but she corrected me. “Gretel”. “Oh”, I said, and turning to the young man, I said, “Let me guess: you are Hans……ummmm Hansel???”
Another stump with the same fungi. Beautiful shapes and colors, I left the green tint from the photo in as it adds in my opinion to the mystic.

The faeries have decided to gather together and play for their animal companions in their magical garden. The Lilac Faerie plays the viola, the Green Faerie plays the mandolin, the Yellow Faerie plays the recorder, the Pearl Faerie plays the harp, the Orange Faerie plays the lute, the Blue Faerie plays the violin and the Pink Faerie plays the lute. What wonderful music they must be playing to attract so many wonderful woodland friends!
The theme for “Looking close… on Friday” is “music”, and I thought this tiny Playmobil faerie troupe would be an appropriate choice.
Two of the wonderful things that attract people, young and old alike, to Playmobil is their vibrant colour and the array of items that make up the Playmobil range.
Playmobil is a line of toys produced by the Brandstätter Group, headquartered in Zirndorf, Germany. Production began in 1974. Playmobil began to be sold worldwide in 1975, and by 2009, approximately 2.2 billion Playmobil figures had been sold. The signature Playmobil toy is a 7.5 cm tall human figure with a particular smiling face. A wide range of accessories, buildings and vehicles, as well as many sorts of animals, are also part of the Playmobil line. Playmobil toys are produced in themed series of sets as well as individual special figures and playsets. New products and product lines developed by a 50-strong development team are introduced frequently, and older sets are discontinued. Promotional and one-off products are sometimes produced in very limited quantities. These practices have helped give rise to a sizeable community of collectors.

Wishing you all a great week ahead..again Happy Thanksgiving...and if you "believe" please send prayers and good energies to my little nephew "Marc" who has cancer and is having his spleen removed today. ♥
UPDATE: Marc just came out of surgery, his spleen was twice the size it should have been ..he's resting and his platelette count is already up. Thank you ALL so much for your kind words, thoughts, prayers and good energies. ♥♥♥
melodious laughter filled the air,
the day she danced with faeries.
Sometimes in life, children see and find joy in the littlest things we adults usually take for granted, like red roses, blue skies, green grass. Their imagination and creativity knows no bounds and are not confined within the box, and what touches me most is their ability to simply just revel in the moment, lost in their world of make-believe. Their innocence, their joy and their laughter.
**dedicated to Sarah =)
Thank you to my good flickr friend Peter, aka Mr Moor,
who followed his hunch and with quite a bit of research found that these are not a fungus after all, but are the eggs of the beneficial insect, the green lacewing. Green lacewings are not as well known as ladybugs, but are similarly beneficial in preying on aphids and other insect pests, and are often used for insect control in organic gardening.
And, they lay magical eggs......
TGIF.. Wishing you a lovely weekend ahead. UPDATE on Kitties. Sipapu had his surgery and he has not missed a step...he's as normal as ever. BG still high but he's feeling good. He should be healing in another week. Thank you for the prayers and good energies. Another kitty Ricochet had a fight with Brunne and got injured ..came home to a house that looked like a murder had been committed. Blood everywhere. I cleaned him up (he's white) and am treating it until he can get to the vet..he too will be having dental surgery. I learned that some cats are "ALLERGIC" (yes I did say that) to their own teeth. Thank you again for the good wishes...and happy Friday.♥
