One of Pixie's favourite positions. She will come up right in front of you and stick her backside in the air until you pat her several times, then you flops over onto your lap - crazy girl.
Happy Furry Friday
The last of my interpretation of the Pixie Store in Clayton, New Mexico. I love the colors and the "O".
Cup Lichens on a Pine tree stump. Surprisingly common but overlooked as they're tiny and I must add, my first encounter. Reindeer eat them apparently though there can't be much nutrition in them! I read that Yellow Stag's Horn [my favourite fungi] prefer Conifers and failed to find any. There were lots of bright red Russula emetica [Sickener] mushrooms but all in grass and needles making it hard to frame a tidy shot. I saw a shot of these which gave me an idea..........
Pixie loves to stop at the fountains for a drink. She likes even better to be the first in line, so If there are other dogs around she pushes them away and drinks first.
It was five years ago, on Tuesday September 15, that we lost her. She was a beauty and so smart and loving. We miss her always.
Pixie really wasn't well at the beginning of the week. She was not eating and spent all day curled up sleeping - not like her at all. We took her to the vet's and they said she had a temperature and, although there wasn't anything obvious, she had an infection. She was given anti inflammatory and long lasting antibiotic injections. Pleased to say she appears to be back to her old self. My health update: I have a CT scan on 27th January to check out how the abscesses are doing now that I have been on antibiotics for a while.
Just in case your interested, the painting behind Pixie is a watercolour by my sister in law: she is an artist. The kerry lambs were in the field next to the cottage she used to live in. Last time we visited it, I was admiring it and she gave it to me!!
Happy Furry Friday everyone
Wishing you a happy and healthy weekend. We have some sunshine today - wooo hooo!
This box was so narrow she had to reverse out - not so good for pouncing on a passing cat but a very good hideout !
Dancing with Pixies ... After all the foraging and rummaging around in the leaf litter, i had a little nibble on a couple of the pretty one's, and started hallucinating ... amazing what a little magic mushroom does ...

Macro Mondays - Souvenir
Happy Macro Monday everyone.
I think I've had this little pixie for 50+ years, but I can't remember who gave it to me, or whether I bought it myself.
The base is 4cm across, and he is 5cm tall.
Pixie spends most of her time flat out near her scratchpost . She can't wait to dash down the garden again when the temperature rises above freezing !
After winning the pixie’s trust with raisins and honey, I was able to persuade her to come indoors and pose for this week’s Smile on Saturday pictures. She is proud of her wings and takes excellent care of them, as they are her main form of transportation and help her escape predators, such as falcons, cats, and foxes.

Pixie races me up to bed every night as we have a little playtime then. I got up and she sprinted upstairs but I went into the kitchen first. She practically rolled her eyes at me when I finally made it up the stairs
Pixie, as usual, wanted all the attention so started playing with my bookmark until I took notice of her
The wet forest floor around Russell Falls is ideal habitat for hosting a variety of fungi. Although quite common this was the first time I'd seen Pixies' parasols (Mycena interrupta), The blue crowns shown here are about a centimetre across.

As fungi mature they grow upwards against gravity even if they knock their caps on a log. The purpose of changing growth direction is to position the gills vertically in order to release spores into airstreams. All this was happening in the darkness underneath a log where sunlight never reaches. Maybe that is why this normally bluish or greenish Pixie's parasol (Mycena interrupta) looked so pale. It is a mushroom with a Gondwanan distribution pattern, being found in Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia and Chile. The scene was lit with an LED panel and focus stacked from 8 frames.
Phill planted six sunflowers in the garden four of which are about seven tall - I think they have been straining to reach the sun - lol The flowers aren't as big as we thought they would be but then poor things have had little sun
Pixie, Ray and Kaiser all vie over this basket as it is right next to the radiator. Whoever manages to hop on it after breakfast is usually there for the day. Pixie got the hot spot on this occasion.
We are off to my sister's this weekend to deliver Christmas presents and see the family. The forecast is for torrential rain all weekend, so I am not looking forward to the journey.
Happy Furry Friday everyone
Wishing you a happy and healthy weekend
The sun lounger was down the bottom of the garden in the shade. with only a small amount of dappled light coming through. Pixie decided it was the perfect spot for her
My friend's recently adopted elderly dachshund. Pixie's elderly owner passed away and she was in a rescue until she found a fantastic home. Needless to say the photo wasn't taken in my garden.
Pixie Lore
Pixies dwell in the twilight, between day and night, between the heavens and the earth, between the conscious and the unconscious... where all things are possible, where our past and future meet, where we meet ourselves coming back. When we dance with the pixies, we dance with the reflections of our true selves and the true nature of the world.
Pixies love to dance. Their music is the most haunting and beautiful ever heard by human ears. Music filled with ancient sadness, as sweet as fresh honey, deeply sensual, with rhythms that are tranquil one moment, demented the next. Because of the limitations of the human ear, it is a music that is more felt then heard. Pixies often dance in circles, leaving rings of flattened grass to mark the sites of their midnight revels-- or circles of toadstools springing up where Pixie feet have trod.
