solstice fairies

in an effort
to cram in all available
frivolities,
we went directly from
the chamber crawl
to the summer solstice
fairy festival
in the park
near our house
~ ~ ~
fairy ladies primping
in particular,
we wanted to catch
the newly minted duo

this fierce little fairy
enjoyed them, too.

we've heard them each
in different settings...
molly, a long-time local singer/songwriter,
& quilla, a much more recent addition to our scene.
there i am.  white hat.  front & center.
 up close

i love this song.


lots of beautiful
fairy costumes all around.

these two young women
sat down near us.
then a little girl started
to do a running dance,
back & forth
at the edge of the grass.
i enjoyed
looking into the
past.

running fast
running faster
then,
a young man
sat down next to the fairy
in the orange tutu
and started
blowing smoke.
(he shared his pipe
with the her.)

summer solstice parade!

not complete without a....mermaid?
 puppet parade

Summer Sun and Wise Owl
ballerina fairy
lighting was challenging...but i loved seeing this trio of fairies
 solstice hoops

hula hoops dancing in the wind

Happy Solstice!
