Oh, she had heard rumors of their existence before. And more
than once she thought she saw something out of the corner of her eye. But somehow,
yes, somehow, she managed to convince herself…. that it was the stuff of fairy tales.
Well, she was wrong…
You see it was like this……..The blogging girl was out taking
a walk -- a late afternoon respite from a long To Do List -- when she saw her….As
plain as day. Yes, as plain as day! She was small and slim, a crown of blossoms in
her hair, a delicate leaf skirt. She was
quietly collecting acorns and slipping them
into a grass woven pouch. (Could it be that they hibernate?)
Sadly, a crackling twig gave the blogging girl’s presence away. A startled look from very green eyes and then
nimble feet took her away…….
A fumbling of the hand, a zoom of the lens, a click, click of the finger......alas, her only proof....
PS Do you remember the elusive feather hunters?
