Wishing you all a peaceful night with our friend the owl…can you spot our friend the fox? Sweet dreams, everyone ♥️ (art Jo Grundy)

An owl soars quietly above a small river and marsh in the countryside of Britain, as hedgerows mark the ancient fields; and in the far distance, a fox makes his way across the field -with a birch tree in the foreground and beautiful plants and trees lush on a summer night.

fairy contemplation

A fairy sits quietly on a branch with spring blossoms…she sits in silhouette, with her beautiful, ethereal wings, glowing & backlit as stars glow in the night.

making weekend plans… art by the late Molly Brett

Animal friends (badger, rabbit, squirrel, hedgehogs, mole, mice, & birds), gather to have a chat in a green meadow with flowers next to a construction site (perhaps to discuss the encroachment). Overhead, pink flowers bloom as birds listen to the conversation and participate.

‘Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing -absolutely nothing- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.’ —Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows

There are four illustrations of Mole & Ratty enjoying a day of boating in Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows. All of them show different stages of the boating: from preparing to go on the shore, to painting the boats wood base, to enjoying the day out with a dragon fly overhead as they row, to rowing quietly underneath a huge green weeping willow and enjoying a beautiful day together as friends. The three artists are Moore, Shepard, & Dunn.

soaking it in…

Hundreds of wildflowers, diverse in beauty, reach for the morning sun in a beautiful forest. Tree trunks, dark brown in colour, stand in semi-silhouette against the rising sun & its luminous rays.

‘Dear old world', she murmured, 'you are very lovely, & I am glad to be alive in you.’ ~LM Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables, with art by James Hill

Anne of Green Gables, as a young woman, stands on a bluff & sand dunes, and looks out at the ocean in Prince Edward Island, while holding her hat and case. She wears Edwardian fashion with her hair up. She looks contemplative. In the distance, the red soil of PEI is visible, as is a distant home/small lighthouse/lightkeeper’s home.

‘Come away, O, human child! To the woods & waters wild, With a fairy hand in hand, For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.’ ~WB Yeats, with art by John A. Grimshaw

A fairy, called a spirit by Grimshaw, flies over a wooded forest and lake at night. She is clad in a transparent, ethereal gown, sheer & flowing, as her iridescent wings & glowing light surround her in flight, as she extends her arm & magical wand over the landscape.

A small bird, in silhouette, rests on a tiny branch as dusk falls on a summer night…soft, pink-orange clouds dance through the sky as the sweet bird rests.

Wishing you all a good night…I’m a bit under the weather, & so I may be offline for a couple of days (I love to post this cozy scene when I’m sick, sorry it’s wintery lol). But I hope your week is going well…sweet dreams & hugs to you all ♥️ (art Naoko Stoop)

Sweet dreams, everyone 🖤 (art Amanda Clark)

Sweet & soft, summer dreams to you all. Good night, all ♥️ (art Nicholas Hely Hutchinson)

On a quiet, summer night, flowers bloom in lushness & tall glory as night falls in a soft twilight, and, in the distance, a glowing house’s window illuminates the scene…in the very far distance hills give way to stars.

Woodland animals and creatures (bear, fox, squirrel, rabbit, mouse, hedgehog, badger, gnome, fairy) toast each other as friends while sitting at a large tree stump in an enchanted forest, as lanterns glow overhead & fireflies/fairies glow, under an arched tree canopy.

summer’s gentle threshold…

A lake in Canada in summer is surrounded by ancient pines, pussy willows, gentle plants along a quiet lakeshore. The sun is beginning its slow descent as dusk falls, and the atmosphere is one of softness, stillness, and the dimming of the day.

Fireflies glow and illuminate a forest on a summer’s night as a tree canopy arches overhead.
