As a delicate shower of petals fell on my hair and shoulders while I was photographing plants in my fishing buddy's yard today, I had the sense that I was being watched. No one was in evidence on the street. No one was at a window and in any event, I was down behind bushes and truly out of sight from any residence. Yet as I focused on a rhododendron, the feeling grew stronger. Then I turned my attention to the flowering cherry so lavishly in bloom above my head. As I brought the lens to bear on one particularly lovely cluster of blossoms, I spotted a face in the viewfinder. The Cherry Faerie tossed a final handful of petals in my direction and disappeared. I believe, and so shall you. See here evidence that the faerie folk exist!
365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!
