thanks Hazel

 VIA Thanks to Hazel (the artroomplant blog) for this: Oh no! it is that time when we get an extra hour in bed to compensate for the walls closing in around dim light bulbs. I love this collage by Fearofrevolt , it perfectly sums up my feelings at this time of year.

 Puck is so HAPPY TO SEE A FAIRY 🧚

EXCERPT: So it is perhaps not surprising that when he actually visited the Wright family in the Yorkshire village of Cottingley, Gardner found no reason to suspect there was anything amiss in the photographs. He talked to Elsie’s parents, who (not knowing themselves whether or how the photos had been faked) gave him sincere and honest answers. They told Gardner all they knew: that the two girls had borrowed Elsie’s father’s camera and gone down to a little hidden valley behind the house where the younger girl, Elsie’s cousin Frances, believed she saw fairies. The girls had returned a just short time later with the negative that Elsie’s father developed in his home darkroom: the first fairy photo.  READ: https://publicdomainreview.org/essay/sir-arthur-and-the-fairies/
