SATURDAY'S CRITTERS AND CAMERA CRITTERS


I wasn't the only one watching for birds the other day.



 My friend the frog and I have been keeping watch for several years at Meadowlark Gardens.  He has been my companion while visiting the children's garden....

as have all the other pretties here.











They all come alive at night and dance with the fairies.




You did know there were fairies here didn't you?

Still a bit quiet over there after their winter's sleep, but there are signs.

I'd be a bit careful of the mushrooms though. 

When looking for mushrooms when I was little, my grandmother always told me to watch out for the funny looking mushrooms. 


There are lots of funny looking mushrooms in the fairy garden.


And the fairies chase after us to pluck the tiny feathers off us....


to stuff their tiny little fairy pillows.



 I'm telling the truth I am!
Happy April 1st!


 Sharing my little tale of whimsy with the following as they become available, with my thanks to Eileen and Misty for bringing them to us.  If you click on their names you can visit other participants.

    I dance with the fairies every day... and if you believe that you'll believe anything. Some nice shots, Denise, especially the one of the frog.

    Cute duck. Everything will comes alive and the fairies will come out when the night sets in. I love to imagine. I think I read too many children's book about fairies.
