flying with hope...


IMGP7066-2

in a field
filled with late summer flowers basking in the falling afternoon sun
and
weeds arching their backs towards the thirsty ground
I didn't see her
~~
do you see her
?
~~
she flies with love and hope on the tips of her wings
and
a tiara on the top of her head
~or are those ears~
~~
look a little closer
~~
now do you see her
?
she's a fairy
made of flowers and weeds dancing in just the right place
at the right time
and
she made me smile
~and do I see the wings of another one coming up behind her~
?
have I mentioned that I love little surprises
especially in my photos
?
well I do
I really really do
*
I'm still going through all of your suggestions from yesterday and can I just say
you guys rock
really really
rock
