Alien Under Toadstool, Fairy Godmother, too
This weekend I watched Maura (almost 4) while her family went to a swim meet with her brothers and sister. She saw me outside and asked, “Granma, Why are you in the bushes?” When she came over to see what I was doing, she said she liked the Fairy Godmother. One shot of each on the iPhone and then she and I played. I’d been sorting toys in the playroom. Saw the toadstool and went and got the two figurines.
Today’s photos? Just for fun. The fungus was enormous. And I had just been reading an article telling of the two cousins Frances and Elsie photographs with the Cottlingley Fairies. (1917)
Thanks to Annette who wrote and said that “ the blog is a daily vitamin for the creative soul.”
That toadstool is incredible and seemingly out-worldly, a fitting place for an alien to hang out.

A bit otherworldly. I think you blog is a vitamin for any soul (I’m not that creative). I love it.

I much preferred the blue Fairy Godmother – she’s less weird and not scary. The toadstool is in a class all its own!
