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!

Faries and fauns? Perhaps, but I see magic in all your work, Merisi.

What a great little story. Like a flash fiction in poetry and pics.

I just love the park at the moment and make sure I go there every day to see the Ducks.

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.

I've seen that gnome with a red hat before:-)

Now I am really missing autumn. Here it is green green green all the year through. Thanks for the walk through Viennese wonderlands.

The first photo makes me think of the jungle and I'm staying with that thought...Yummy
