Fairies and Disney World

I was starting to think the fay had decided not to join us this year. A long cold winter was followed by a crazy heat wave to start off the summer. Its rained (a bit) this month. We finally saw our first mushroom last week. And now there are even more. Welcome home fairies, you have been missed.

The final payment is in. The count down has begun! 44 more days until we leave for the World. Disney, here we come!

Happy Spring

Spring is here at long last. I think I have a new apperchiation for the changing of the seasons after that winter I just lived through last weekend. Today started out right and spring like.

Can I just say how much I love spring? It is a time of birth and renewing. A time for fairies and magic. A time of color and peace.

Also, I have my photos again. I have resorted to using a method that I normally would not use against protected internet imagies, but since these images are mine I don't feel bad.

This Island Earth

Has any one else seen the moon the last few days?


Last night she was beautiful. Full and glowing in her lunar magic against that midnight-blue sky. Clouds, thick and yet pulled thin like raw cotton when it is being cleaned by hand, floated by. They were obscuring our few of her before perfectly framing her face, just for a moment.

What is it about her that has captured our imaginations? I have lived in a world where man has walked on the moon, but no one has been there in my lifetime. It almost seems like a Hollywood fable now. A fairy tale. I have seen man walk on the moon just as I have seen men Journey to the Bottom of the Sea. When are we going back? In Hollywood there is always room for a sequel.

The First Fairy

this evening,
fairies.

i know when you look for them

they won't be found,
but today i was drawn
to her and her tree.

see?
there!

she's hiding
among the leaves.

look closely.
she's dancing.

Looking for Fairies

One good thing about the time change is the sunlight. Working Downtown, sunlight isn't something I get to enjoy very often. If I were a lawyer, which I'm not, I'd have a window in my office, which I don't.

Today I got to take full advantage of the change. After returning home with Alex we went outside to play. I scanned our yard for signs of fairies. I know what you're thinking.... it's not spring yet!! You would be right. It isn't spring, but we are getting close. Flowers are blooming, the bees are buzzing, the sky was bright blue. It wasn't a proper fairy hunt, just a peek around. I guess I'll check again after the solstice. In the meantime, I got some good shots of the yard.
