Fairy Walk at Salmon River

It was a cold April morning but the river was lovely. 

A great place to walk among the fairies!

My daughter and my two granddaughters joined me

 for the activity celebrating spring 

and the mystical folk of the woods.

Violet has a passion for making potions.

Lily likes to roam the woods. 

She looks like one of the fae in her elfin ears.

After making offerings for the woodland  folk, 

we had to place our offerings

 with gratitude in appropriate places.

The water fairies and the tree fairies 

hide in different places

 and have different tastes.

Rachel, a green witch, explained it all to us.

The moss fairies like to find something glittery

in their favored habitat.

We lost track of Lily but found her

along the stream bed, hidden away from sight.

Lily had been busy making a fairy house 

under a mossy bank by the river's edge.

We meditated with grandmother tree.

Our toes and noses were cold, 

but our hearts were warm with thoughts 

of these mystical beings of the early spring woodland

who would find our offerings --

even if we didn't find them.
