Do you believe in fairies? Do fairies grant wishes? Are fairies magical?

This sweet flower is called the Fairy Duster, just the bit of accoutrement that a fairy might need.

I think I might be in need of a fairy or a fairy godmother, or maybe just some magic fairy dust. Hmmm…wonder where I can find such things.

Photographed in early October at Tohono Chul Park in Tucson, Arizona. As noted on their website, Tohono Chul is “a desert corner garden where nature, art and culture connect.”

Another photo of my Christmas tree. I love to squint my eyes almost shut and see the lights turn into tiny circles.

To all who celebrate during this season, Merry Christmas.

Not your ordinary Christmas tree photograph, but one of my favorites. I’m a big fan of Holiday lights. My favorite activity of the Christmas season is to sit in a darkened room, one lit only by the multi-colored lights of the Christmas tree.
