Hello Friends!
Recently, I came across a small group of the cutest
mushrooms imaginable. Perfectly formed, they seem to be just crying out for
doors, windows, and chimneys to make the sweetest little mushroom cottages for our
fairy and elemental friends ~~~ what do you think?
Then, just less than a week goes by, and the scene is changed, and I fear the fairies and elementals are flown away ~~~
All the while, the little village, undergoing so many changes, nestled underneath the gnarly roots of an ancient and magical yew tree ~~~
Until next time ~~~

I have some very interesting mushrooms in my woods, too! I love the gnarly roots on the trees. I've been taking photos of nooks and crannies in tree roots for years hoping to weave a story around them. All sorts of little creatures leave in the tree root caves!
ReplyDeleteI love mushrooms, such fascinating and varied things to watch as they magically spring up from nowhere overnight.
DeleteDeb, I agree your mushrooms would make lovely homes for the fairies. We have a crop growing on the mulched stump of our old oak tree. I like the photos of the beautiful roots of the yew. Such a smooth and gnarley home for the ivy. Happy Autumn! xoxo ♥
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll take some photos of yours to share soon? Autumn Blessings! xo
DeleteFungi are fascinating and I love the gnarled tree roots.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are fascinating things, aren't they?
DeleteThe fairies would have loved those for sure. Those gnarled roots are fascinating, I just love trees, if they talk they could tell us so much, as they have been around so very long.x
ReplyDeleteAgree ~ I think Tolkien tapped into the longevity of {particularly} some trees for his Ents.
DeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWhat a super post - love the idea of fairy homes and can just imagine little doors and windows. I have some handmade clay pottery bought on the Isle of Wight of little toadstool houses :)
ReplyDeleteThank you As soon as I saw these, I thought 'fairy homes' ~
DeleteBeautiful mushrooms. What a difference a week makes. The tree roots are fabulous, so textural. Lovely photos, thanks for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteYou live in such a magical place, lucky you!
Love and hugs,
Darlene
Thank you, my friend! I love looking for mushrooms, and agree, there is magic here! Deb xoxo
DeleteLovely to see your photographs.
ReplyDeleteI think the gnarled tree roots are wonderful, it never ceases to amaze me the way they shape and grow.
All the best Jan
Thank you, Jan, yes, tree roots are indeed amazing in their shapes.
DeleteOh the little folk would love your woods and fields flitting from home to home sharing a wee nectar sip and sweet meat as they share the craick.
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine that!
