I hope you enjoy this bit of white magic from Lavender Moon Girl to break up the week. Have lovely days, everyone! Warmly, Brenda
Lavender Moon: Artist, Poet and Lover of Nature
Masquerading veiled fairies
Dance in a cascading
Mane
As radiant stamens
Parade their flames.
The dogs and I love to walk in our local nature reserve; I call it the Fairy Woodland because it really is a special place to sit and enjoy magical moments such as the delicate scent of mingled blossom from a dew drop, a tiny Blue butterfly sunning its wings on a buttercup, a cuckoo and at dusk the eerie cry of a barn owl.
Happy first day of June everyone. 🙂
Spot on Brenda about the horses mane. And good luck with your new book PP. 🙂

This was such a lovely parade of veiled fairies in masquerade. I am pondering the word, “mane” in this and need to check back if you can explain this meaning to me, dear Brenda.

A horse’s mane is the long hair along its neck. I assume this refers to the way the flowers drape along a branch. So she is both looking at each flower, but also at the whole fall of flowers.

Just handed in a rewrite to my agent about a fairy mystery novel – so at the moment my brain is ALL THINGS FAIRY.
Loved the post, Brenda. 😉

How cool! Do you have a publisher or is that the next step?

Yep. That’s all done and dusted. This book is a 2nd in a two book contract, but I run all finals through the eagle eyes of my agent before sending off the manuscript to my editor. Saves a lot of time which editors seem to be in short supply of lately.
