Taken just as fall begins. The beautiful coloured leaves, falling away from the tree just screams Fall about to hit
Inside your trees, i find pleasure
I slip inside your blooming treasure
That opens wide ,as i proceed
To devour your falling seed
That flows between , your shaking trees
As i get down on my knees
To worship your hidden treasure
That fills my eyes and lips with pleasure

In Irish folklore it is believed fairy trees are the sacred grounds for the fairies and as such are considered sacred and are left untouched wherever they grow. They are usually Hawthorns, as is the case here, sometimes Ash .
All night around the thorn tree, the little people play,
And men and women passing will turn their heads away.
They’ll tell you dead men hung there, its black and bitter fruit,
To guard the buried treasure round which it twines its root.
They’ll tell you Cromwell hung them, but that could never be,
He’d be in dread like others to touch the Fairy Tree.
Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) is a medium-sized swallow, with gleaming white underparts. Adult males are bright iridescent blue-green above; females and immatures are duller brownish with limited or no iridescence. Always note compact shape, fairly broad wings, and slightly notched tail. Occurs in a variety of open habitats including grassy fields, lakes, and marshes. Often in flocks, sometimes mixed with other species of swallows.
Tree Swallows nest in tree cavities; they also readily take up residence in nest boxes. This habit has allowed scientists to study their breeding biology in detail, and makes them a great addition to many a homeowner’s yard or field.
