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

Portal to Faerie realm

'Spirits and faeries had their meeting place under the hawthorn tree.'
from: Flower Power by Anne Mcintyre. A Henry Holt reference book.
I was thrilled to find this quote, as I thought of faeries when I was near this lovely tree.
I used the berries in a tea I made up for Mark when he suffered from high blood pressure a few years ago.
Come explore the world of faeries and fantasy creatures in this new field guide: W.B. Wistica's International Faerie Field Guide.
This is a typical Faerie from the Cottingley Woods Section. Normally these tiny creatures have fire red hair, small pointy ears and Earth tone wings which helps them to blend into the landscape of the forest, hiding from un-expected visitors. These Faeries will let you know if they want to be found.
I suppose if I were a water faerie, I might like to call this home. With rooms with a view and reading lights in every nook, it is interesting, pleasing to the eye and remarkably odd, all at the same time. If it isn't enough to just gaze at for a while, you might be interested to know that it opens like it was some labyrinthine sea creature recently discovered near the Galapagos. This is the stunning creation of my Daughter Jacqueline Richard. It has been said, if you build it they will come. I wonder....
Was playing with mosaic creator... and of course LOL collected some faeries ... from my entire Second Life... :)

these tiny little shrooms were on a old fallen tree, that has laid on the hillside for more than 25 yrs... covered in mosses and tiny fungus.
My friend Matthew has a beautiful moss / lichen shot this week too!

Sometimes I’m such a Faerie!
But it is in our nature to fly high
Dance in the glow of silliness
Dizzy and dithering as a bumbling Boo! Bee
This was my favourite of Jan’s photo shoot.
Look at those eyes, awwww…
Burning brightest Amber…
Like toffee apples…
Making that hard crunch in your mind…
That fermented anticipation of your lips coaxed saliva…
And that, that….. ummm! as the bite, breaks, that hard glazed skin…
Lost in the rush of juices…sweet…sweet…surrender!!!

Meeting a new model and trying some things out. The model had brought little costume wings, but they not that visually impactful, so i brought this together in photoshop with wings generated in Midjourney.

Faeries sit atop the towering Redwoods and Forestmen climb long spiraling staircases to reach their homes in the branches.

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”
~Roald Dahl
Taken on the Oregon coast, where old forests meet with the ocean, and the mist creates a wonderful, ethereal glow in the sunlight. I can imagine all sorts of magic here.

Nightly Gatherings Held After Dark
"If you should catch a fairy,
And place it in a jar,
Be sure to treat it kindly,
And do not take it far -
This fairy is not for the keeping.
It has a home, you see.
The forest is a wonderful place
And fairies must live free."
