Less than five minutes' ride out of York railway station and I was off the bike with an unexpected deflationary situation. I wandered over to the riverbank and, in amongst the dried poo, sat down on a tree stump and set to with my repair kit.
Of course, it was the rear wheel. But it's a straightforward exercise when you've done it a few times before.

Trying to get back into portraiture, I did a photo shoot for a friend and had some luck shooting this young lady.
Leila's senior portrait if she were a faerie of the upland hardwood forest. Tunica Falls/Clark Creek Nature Area, Mississippi. Nov 2014
Nothing remotely clever about this, I just liked the colour of the seed beads with the Czech glass. Simply strung on a piece of memory wire I found in my stash. Hard to see from the photo, but the Czech glass has a lovely mottled mossy effect.
the trees in the foreground were covered with hoarfrost, making an ethereal constrast against the dark evergreens in the background. Breathtaking!
Wanda and Kevin hit the road for a weekend-long journey into the Northwoods of Minnesota for a rendezvous with the Radical Faeries.

The beautiful landscape of faerie glen on the Isle of Skye was the most surreal place I have ever been. It truly felt like you were transported to a different world!
I've been working on Holly, she's the faerie of the holly plant. I thought she would be really cute for Christmas. There is a lot of interesting lore about the holly plant, and it has healing properties too! I will be writing more about that when she is all finished. ^_^
The Ban Krud beach is under the magical protection of Wat Tang Sai (วัดทางสาย) which sits high upon Khao Thong Chai, Prachuap Khiri Khan, looking like a fairy-tale castle.

"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
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.
Lately I have been stressed about some work related problems. It is not a good use of my time, but when I am stressed, I tend to want to disappear. One way I can do that is by creating artistic graphic images of the fantastic. Lately, this has focused around fantasy-world women. I have always found the women in fantasy novels interesting: full of magic and power. I guess I am wishing I had a little magic in my life right now.

Each faerie represents a different season.
