In my imagination, this is a place where you might find the fae folk. The stream is part of a river in a state park, but I had the idea little invisible beings were all around.
The image is from the Hillsborough River State Park in Florida. Maybe it was my mood or the setting, but parts of it seemed nothing short of enchanting. There are places inside forests like this that have an ephemeral quality of nature about them.
I experienced the same thing in the forests of Oregan a couple of weeks ago. Some sections of the trail had a subtle quality that you could easily miss. I have no idea if nature spirits exist; I've never seen one. At the very least, encountering these areas in the wilderness gives me pause and stokes my imagination.
Meet the newest doll here at Scribble Dolls, and my first doll of 2014!
She was a custom order inspired by Charles' Creature Cabinet's Fidelia Firefly Faerie.
(I'm sure if you follow me here on Flickr, you KNOW my feelings on the lovely Fidelia's!)
She is 11.5 inches tall.
She can not remain sitting up or standing without something to assist her, but she can still be manipulated in many fun ways with a prop.
I, personally, am having lots of fun with her because she's cuddly and floppy like a rag doll. :)
She was made using my newly drawn up "Pixie" pattern (with a slight change to her head...she needed to match the larger heads of the firefly faeries!).
Expect to see more Pixies in the near future! (They'll be very similar to this faerie, except for the smaller head and a slightly different face style.)
January 2014
I think it looks like little faerie feet and legs dancing and the flower is a flowing skirt... which is probably why this one has grown on me so much.

"What was his surprise and his joy when, on looking himself over, he saw that he was no longer a Marionette, but that he had become a real live boy! He looked all about him and instead of the usual walls of straw, he found himself in a beautifully furnished little room, the prettiest he had ever seen. In a twinkling, he jumped down from his bed to look on the chair standing near. There, he found a new suit, a new hat, and a pair of shoes. As soon as he was dressed, he put his hands in his pockets and pulled out a little leather purse on which were written the following words: The Faerie with Azure Hair returns fifty pennies to her dear Pinocchio with many thanks for his kind heart."
- Carlo Collodi, The Adventures of Pinocchio

getting off the main road to a single track hill track leads you here. one will wonder if he's in the land of the faeries driving through this small glen.
I hope she visits all of you this Valentine's Day! :)

She is sitting on "Box O' Chocolate" cupcakes that I made for our Valentine's Day themed Bunco.
You can see a pic of what they look like below. I made two boxes plus a bunch of extras.
Also be sure to visit Lita's photostream to see what she did with this faerie pose!

Folklore of the Trees
There has always been a strong association in the glens between the hawthorn tree and the fairies. Small, gnarled hawthorns, often of great age, survive on slopes and in the fields where other obstructions to the plough have long since been removed. Stories abound of the misfortunes that have befallen those foolish enough to cut down a ‘skeoch’, as they are known, e.g. someone struck dumb or even a man’s head turned back to front! Twigs of hazel are favoured by water diviners and noted for providing protection against mischievous fairies. Tying a hazel branch to a horse, for example, discourages fairies from taking the animal. Alder, on the other hand is feared for harbouring water spirits and the ash is said to be the first tree that lightening will strike, and should be avoided in a storm.

The Peatbog Faeries play The Old Fire Station, Carlisle, Cumbria
The Peatbog Faeries are a largely instrumental Celtic fusion band. Formed in 1991, they are based in Dunvegan on the Isle of Skye, Scotland.
Their music embodies many styles and influences, including folk, electronica, rock and jazz, - but their main influence is traditional celtic music. The band's unique sound is created through a mix of programmed effects and traditional celtic arrangements, played on bagpipes, fiddles, and whistles.
The band have twice won "Live Band of the Year" at the Scottish Traditional Music Awards and were nominated for "Live Band of the Year" at the BBC Radio 2 folk awards.

"Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame."
~William Butler Yeats, "The Land of Heart's Desire," 1894~
Had some fun with this one and had trouble deciding what to post - this or the more natural color scheme version (seen in first comments). Ultimately, this was so fun to work on that I decided to go ahead with the "magical" version. ;) And I like the way that the lavender in the trees looks like blossoms, and the purple on the ground looks like where they have fallen.
Oh - check out Skylar's forest shot from this same area in the first comment.
Hope all my USA Flickr friends are having a great start to their Thanksgiving weekend!
This is one of the first few images captured with my new Nikkor Z 24-70/2.8 S. I think this lens and I are going to be good friends.
