I caught our poor Snow Faery in a photo while on my early morning walk through the woods. I was putting out nuts and seeds for the birds, mice and other little creatures that live in this forest when I saw one lone snowflake drift down and melt as soon as it hit the ground. I looked up, startled, because the sun was shining brightly in a cloudless sky, and that's when I saw her. I whipped up my camera and quickly clicked, but there was no need to hurry; she was too sad to move quickly. She waved her wand quite a few times, but only a few snowflakes appeared and those melted before they reached the ground. I thought I heard a forlorn whisper from her as she faded away: "I'm trying my best, it's just too warm...it's just too warm."
I love the way you interpret a few floaty flakes of snow.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I fear the climate change has such dire impact on the fae folk too. It must be very disheartening for them.
ReplyDeleteDear Snow Fairy looks so sad indeed. Such a beautiful yet melancholy expression.
Dear Victoria - I am feeling terribly bad for your sweet faery. If she would come visit me in Ohio she might be happier. Take care and I hope you get some snow soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barbara.
ReplyDeleteVicki, I think so, too.
Debbie, she said your snow faeries should come out here and help her, ha!
You tell such delightful stories. They put a smile on my face. What good fortune to be able to capture the snow fairy with your camera.
ReplyDeleteOC, thank you, and I'm glad I can make you smile!
