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.
Yep we're all hedgehog faeries here! ♀️💞

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.

Very short DOF on purpose, as well as the cold toned white-balance/la très courte PDC est voulue de même que la balance des blancs réglée sur tons froids.
"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

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!

[Happy] Hedgehog ! Het komt eerlijk gezegd niet heel vaak voor dat ik 100% tevreden ben over m’n werk, maar met mijn egel-elfje kom ik redelijk in de buurt, erg blij met het eindresultaat! #forJoan 💕♀️

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!
