Time for some winter fantasy! My Witch Hazel blooms are visiting the land of Faerie where they can find the magic needed to help them wait for the first signs of spring.

Autumn in Melbourne is always beautiful, with many wonderful deciduous trees full of colour like this Japanese Maple, one of my favourites, which I caught as it is starting to turn one on my walk today. These two tiny red leaves reminded me of a pair of earrings. Perhaps they are faerie earrings.
Today was a lovely and sunny day, although cool. I thought I'd go for a walk and take advantage of the sunny conditions, as rain is expected tomorrow and for the next few days.
A bright red toadstool at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. There was a patch of these in a grassy area just off a track. The bright red colouring gave them away from a distance. The neighbouring faerie house was larger and in a state of disrepair, but it did have an interesting bug living on its stem - i'll probably upload photos of that one sometime later.

"High above all a cloth of State was spred,
And a rich throne, as bright as sunny day,
On which there sate most brave embellished
With royall robes and gorgeous array,
A mayden Queene, that shone as Titans ray,
In glistring gold, and peerelesse pretious stone:
Yet her bright blazing beautie did assay
To dim the brightnesse of her glorious throne,
As envying her selfe, that too exceeding shone …"
- Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene

When I was a child, I was told by my beloved grandparents that the winged seed pods of English maple trees were translucent faerie wings waiting to be collected by their new owners.
Autumn is now well and truly with us here in Melbourne, and the cooler winds of seasonal change are blowing away the remnants of summer, like it tosses the red, gold and orange leaves that carpet the ground.
Today was a perfect autumnal day in Melbourne: sunny, but not too bright, warm, but not hot, and perfectly still. Therefore I thought I'd go for a walk and take advantage of the sunny conditions and take some photographs.
I have taken several hundred, some of which I will upload over the coming months. However this one of the winged maple seeds which reminded me of by childhood in England particularly resonated with me, so I thought I would upload it without delay.
Wishing you all a fabulous week ahead. I'm on the mend. I see a new doctor today. The rash is gone but sadly not the itching and burning, I hope the new PC has some good news for me. Thank you for stopping by ♥
A misty morning in my local woods, with bluebells and young ferns. With cheerful birdsong what better place to be on a spring morning? In Explore May 25, 2023.

HEY..You, yeah you...even faeries need a makeover now and then. LOL
This small flask has a chain handle that also works as the cork keeper, the whole frame is 7/8 inch square, yes tiny silver flask.
We're back in the happy place. The land of magic where wonderful things happen, where Angels and Faeries join forces to make us smile, the place where nature hugs us and makes us well. The place where spirits soar and flowers grow. Welcome to the woods in spring .

....enchanted worlds still exist because the child within us never dies. The doorways may be more obscure, but we can still seek them out. There are still noble adventures to undertake. There are still trees that speak and caverns that lead to nether realms. There will always be faeries and elves within nature because they will always be dancing within our hearts. ~Ted Andrews

The light
Begin to bleed
Begin to breathe
Begin to speak
D'you know what?
I love you better now
I am falling
Like a stone
Like a storm
Being born again
Into the sweet morning fog
D'you know what?
The love you better now
I'm falling
And I'd love to hold you know
I'll kiss the ground
I'll tell my mother
I'll tell my father
I'll tell my loved one
I'll tell my brothers
How much I love them

I've found myself out of step again. You lot are posting snowy shots and I'm still stuck in (pre) autumn 😂 Anyway, my first visit to Fairy Glen near Betws-y-Coed. A bit overwhelming and not sure I really did it justice! Before going I read this:
www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/tourists-now-fl...
And made sure I had a bit of extra change, to make up in a small way for the arseh0les the owners clearly have to endure.

Thank you very much for your comments and faves, regretfully, I am finding it increasingly difficult to reply to your comments, because of my very limited time on the internet, due to constant power interruptions in South Africa. I do read and appreciate every one of them! Thanks again!!
Ethereal denizens of the deep cold, these minute collections of moisture trapped between sealed panes of glass in my patio door are growing, with the increasing cold.
-50.1F (-46C) this morning. Excellent conditions for this delightful occurrence.
I suppose that manipulating photos with software could be considered a form of 'faerie magic', eh?
Happy SlidersSunday... :)
I breathe in air that is only as sweet as sugar.
My heart beats only for my passion (love)
My skin is a peaches n' cream combination
My tongue says only clean words
And, my ears hear just the same.
I wake up every morning and know...
that I am special.
I am beautiful, graceful, and perfect.
I am a faerie.EJ
