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

Happy Bokeh Wednesday
To all my friends in real life...
In the invisible world...
And cypberspace....

Always Exploring... but on this day... 01/21/09... Thank you! :D <3
If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumbered here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
If you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.
- William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream

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 faerie edit n_n because i have to do some more because the box i was making doesnt have enough photos in it. but i like this :)
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.

PADDY: "Yes I do, dear Peter! I will read it to you, and you and your best friend Scout and princess Rosie can sit and listen."
PETER: "Oh I would love that, Paddy. Oh, by the way, your beste vriend Oleg sends his love to you. He couldn't come on the back of Little Bee because there wasn't room for both of us."
PADDY: "Oh that's a shame! I miss mijn allerbeste vriend" *Sighs.* "But I know I will see mijn beste vriend Oleg very soon for a nice cup of Twinings English Breakfast tea."
PETER: "Umm... Paddy."
PADDY: "Yes little Peter?"
PETER: "Before you read the story of 'The Magic Flute' to me and mijn beste vriend and mijn allerliefste princes, I just need to see Daddy."
DADDY: "Hullo little Peter! You are here at last! Good! I am just making some tea, and I have some lovely home baked biscuits that are not long out of the oven for everybear to eat."
PADDY, SCOUT, ROSIE and PETER: "Oh thank you, Daddy!"
PETER: "I am glad you are here, Daddy! I have something for you!" *Hands over pretty coloured crochet basket full of flowers. "Flowers for you, from Little Bee, who flew me to the magic portal in Mummy Marian's garden."
DADDY: "Oh thank you, little Peter!" *Accepts basket.* "They are lovely, and Little Bee is so kind and thoughtful!"
PETER: "Oh he is, Daddy, and he promises to visit you in spring time, when the flowers are out."
DADDY: "Very good! I shall look forward to that. Now, do you know the story of 'The Magic Flute'?"
PETER: "No I don't Daddy, only that it is a faerie tale."
PADDY: "It is about a brave Prince called Tamino, and a very brave princess called Pamina."
PETER: "Pamina sounds like mijn allerliefste prinses Rosie!"
ROSIE: "Oh mijn prins!" *Blushes red beneath pink woollen plush.*
SCOUT: "But the best character is Papageno, who is a funny and cheeky bird catcher!" *Giggles.*
DADDY: "It is based on an opera written by the famous composer, Mozart in 1791. It is my favourite opera. There is a CD in the back of the book with highlights of the opera. If you give the book to me, Paddy. I will read the story, and then I will play the music and songs at the points they are performed in the story if you like."
PADDY: "Oh that would be wonderful, Daddy!"
SCOUT, ROSIE and PETER: "Oh thank you Daddy!"
DADDY: "Now, just make yourselves comfortable and I will finish making the tea and then I will read the story."
My bears Paddy and Scout have made very good friends with two bears in Holland called Peter and Oleg www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/galleries/721577154558... and www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/galleries/721577233464... and their Mummy Marian Kloon (on and off) . Peter and Scout are very similar and have become best friends. Peter loves Rosie and Rosie loves Peter, so they have become prince and princess to one another. Oleg and Paddy are very similar and have become best friends too. Mummy Marian has a new bear living with her. His name is Little Bee and he is very special, as he is Bee Bear www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/galleries/721577239332... Little Bee will come and visit us in spring time when there are lots of blossoms around, however he flew Peter to the magic portal in Mummy Marian's garden. You can see that here: www.flickr.com/photos/66094586@N06/54654085846/in/gallery... or in the first comment below.
Paddy is reading my 1997 first edition of 'The Magic Flute' based on the opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, retold by Anne Gatti with Illustrations by Peter Malone, published by Chronical Books.
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Rosie is Scout's cousin, because like Scout, she is a free trade knitted bear from Africa. She was made in Kenya by one of the Kenana Knitters, Martha Wanjira. She is made from home spun and dyed wool. She was a gift to me from two very dear friends, including the one who gave Scout to Paddy.
Thank you to Marian Kloon (on and off) for the use of her photo of Peter in my photo montage.

Picture shot in our studio. Lots of light coming through the window to back light the body, and I splashed some coloured light mostly over the building face and more lights to get some of the gloss showing in the wings.
Processed to retain some grungy feeling in the building and the Fae, in keeping with a kinky feel and also thinking of the Carnival Row settings (any fans? )
This Faerie is not busy looking pretty, she is on a sexy mission!

This outfit is designed to be worn with transparency, and given the name and event ;p Not much else need be worn.
The little tassels extend the skirt of the dress in a "Yes, you can look" way and the bodice is really just drawing attention to the breasts, rather than making any serious attempt at concealment.
In short, a delightfully kinky and playful dress.

Pose and light by Whims
(Wings were from a CoCo 'coco doll' outfit, and are called "insect wings" (Note, "Never, ever, refer to a Faerie as an insect...." )
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.
Special thanks to my bestie, Lois Hill for helping model for this shoot. Love you dearly, and my SL would not be the same without you :)

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 =)

Finally, Awenia Faerie is open to the general public! You can arrive in Faerie itself, or you can start at our official landing point, The Great Awenia Forest. For at least the month of December, the region is open for exploration and photography. When you land at either of the two landing points noted above, please read the rules about rezzing stuff and being respectful and all that, and we’ll give you a few extra landmarks as well just to get your explorations started. Over the past couple of years. Dyisi and I have worked really hard on making bits of Awenia, and I hope you enjoy what we’ve put together. In January, Awenia will close to visitors, and we will re-open sometime in mid-May to take you through the Light Half of the Year and into the Darkness again. Please visit, take your time exploring, and if you’re so inclined, help us out a bit with the tier by dropping some coins into the tip jars scattered round the Realm.
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......
