woodland findings speak of spells …
How lovely to stumble across such magic and share 🙂

I DO believe in fairies. I do, I do, I do! 🙂
(Not very original of me but I can’t help imagining that this was the work of some lovely creative spirit who likes to leave her mark…)
Oh I think this is the perfect comment….fairies were exactly what I was thinking as I took the photos. Who else would string such interesting and varied treasures from woodland branches? The sense of suspension, of not knowing, is wonderful.
perfect! leaving tiny treasures behind for someone else to find.
It’s lovely isn’t it to find creations like this…..hanging in the woods 🙂
What a beautiful creation to come across.
Indeed, it’s amazing what you find in the woods 🙂
Now I’m confused … did you loot a Magpie nest of its treasure … or did you act like a Magpie and make a collection of your own as you walked through your woods? In either case, cool ‘installation.’ I suppose Magpies and the Bower Birds I have posted about before have lots in common. Isn’t the behavior interesting? One wonders what the birds themselves ‘think’ about what they’re doing or whether it’s simply hardwired? D
Neither David. I love the slight confusion, because that’s what I felt along with curiosity, when I came across this suspended creation in the woods. The knots tell us it was created by human hands….but who or why…..? A suspended mystery 🙂
Magpies, Ravens, Jays…..they all collect trinkets. I love what you’ve done with those trinkets….invoking the woodland spirits:) Nice post.
I just stumbled across them in the middle of woodland which boarders Yellowcraigs beach. I loved the questions they left me with. Obviously tied by human hands, but with no explanation or obvious meaning…..I was attracted by the glittering 🙂
you have a way of marrying words together like a genius. so beautiful how you see things.
Wow, what a beautiful comment. It’s lovely to know that you enjoy seeing the way I look at the world 🙂
I see those tree spirits.
Enchanting aren’t they 🙂
Profoundly interesting, and profound, both!
Very kind Colin, they caught my eye and sent my creativity off into the void and back 🙂
Life’s wild breath is beautiful and green as ever, captured in your pictures :). Lovely pictures as always!
Thank you, these treasures caught my eye as I walked the dogs through the woods, and they spoke to my feelings at the time 🙂
