Afternoon With Fairies And Faun


In the center of the city,
this mysterious path

leads you
into a veritable fairytale land

filled with
red-hatted gnomes

and fairies
in rose-coloured garb

ready to dance
and stand on their heads

and a faun,
napping.

Beware,
this is all
you'll see
when you fall
out of your dream!

  8. Merisi, I know that it will not surprise you to read that ... when I saw some of these photos, I wondered if you might be walking in Central Park today. The pathways, and trees, and even some of the lamps and benches, make be take a very long look.

    Grand to share this response. How I wish that I would feel the same when my eyes are fixed on those pastries and melanges at Demel's.
