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.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH EVERYONE FOR YOUR VIEWS, COMMENTS AND FAVES, ETC.
I made this for a forum challenge called 'Dark Faerie' and I have a little story that goes with my entry too "My fairy is a good fairy, she spends moonlight nights roaming the woods, collecting night-flowering plants for remedies. Of course not everything in the woods at night is as pure hearted as she is, so she wears this handflower with a magic mirror at the centre of a night bloom. Whenever she encounters anyone or 'anything', she holds the back of her hand up to them and their intentions are reflected back towards them. If they project evil they will receive evil and if they are good that too will bounce back at them. Either way, our fairy will be protected and free to continue with her important work"
I took this close up portrait of Nolan Yost - Zahir the Faerie of the Ocean for the credits portion of Twig the Fairy's new book at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. Nolan is a member of the Kansas City Renaissance Festival Fairies.
