around the bend...

on a recent sunny day, this wee family drove down a country road, out of the blue we passed an opening in the brush...

we glanced at each other

'what was that we just saw?

we must go back.'

this is what we found:

crumbling paths from a time long ago...

mosses and lichen of the most wonderous kind...

men connected with the earth.




paths paved by broken down trees,
time, it would seem, had won over here, in the most beautiful of ways.

traveling on still...

up, up further into the hills...

we found the resting places of fairies and gnomes
where they find homes in trees and brush...surrounded by the mystical, the magical.
wee creatures greeted us, then flittered home to be with their loved ones.

we danced...like no one was watching...

because no one was watching.go gently and love the moment.
