I was walking through the woods of Northern California, near Sonoma, in a magically green and moist place. I took a narrow dirt path that twisted along the edge of a steep hill that fell away to a gorge and found a world with butterflies hovering above trickling springs and tall trees lined with lichen and fluffy moss. Every so often, I'd have to climb over the trunk of a fallen, wooden giant, decorated by colorful salamanders, wildflowers, and toadstools. 

​

If there was ever a place where fairies lived, it would be in that verdant place. Tree nooks and boulder crevices lined with ferns were perfect living spaces for the fae. So, I reached the lens of my phone beneath a giant mushroom, snapped a picture, and walked on. It wasn't until I got home that I discovered I had taken a photo of a REAL fairy hanging out underneath!

​

I'd love to know what you think.
