This Beltane has coiled into a lovely dark peace. I spent hours this afternoon composing a blogpost I won't publish for a couple of weeks, so now I have nothing to give you but the darkness outside my door, the peace.
My mouth is full of fairytale. My heart is full of old love. Tonight I will listen for fairy bells, which I have heard before singing over the cliffs above the night sea, and amongst the white rose trees. Every night is a magical night, but sometimes we remember to feel it.
As for the photograph - it was taken through the car window as we drove through remote, dawn-lit countryside. I thought the house looked so old and interesting beneath the heavy dark hills, I hurried to get a shot. Only after I uploaded the picture to my computer did I find that there was an airplane infront of the house.
Everyday magic.

Beautifully written, and such an air of mystery with the photo.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling of being deeply immersed in artful work. It is engaging and sometimes thrilling, and often magical. I have felt that way much of the last few weeks as I see pictures everywhere I look and carry my camera always. Your image today is full of mystery and intrigue - and I could see the story being warm and heartfelt or perhaps a tale of adventure or maybe sadness? Great view and the texture of the car window . . . an added bonus in this case.
ReplyDeleteActually, the car window left no overlay - this is two edited textures.
DeleteLove your words and the image gives such a ghostly feeling that house has a story to tell.
ReplyDeleteThis is a magical post, the image and the tale
ReplyDeleteYour image is quite haunting. Love it.
ReplyDeletefabulous edit! And I love your writing.
ReplyDeleteSuch a mysterious image... Love it! What a great surprise finding the airplane in your image later.
ReplyDeleteA perfect Halloween photo, so ghostly feeling. And a magically appearing plane to add to the fun!
ReplyDeleteLol, I hadn't thought of Halloween! I must confess I despise the American Halloween tradition, I am old school pagan from way back and I hate to see what has been done to a sacred holy day, probably the same way some Christians dislike the emphasis on chocolate at Easter. It's Beltane here at the moment - all life and love and sunshine. :-)
ReplyDeleteit looks like rather a lonely and foreboding place.....and I love when I remember to feel it.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful image - looks like it was taken in the 20's.
