Fantasies large and small

  

I captured this from FaceBook. But there are several more videos also on YouTube under their title.

Every time someone posted a photo or video of these fantastic machines, I was captivated!

Space Odyssey

A fossil find...proving fairies existed way back when, wherever this was!

Another fairy, painted by Cecily Mary Barker



Posted  to Facebook in 2019, I stated I felt like the tiny bird perched on the fairy's foot.

And finally my sepia photos for today...

Northfork schoolhouse, built around 1895 -1910,Swannanoa/Black Mountain NC. I'd say no wonder the teacher is sitting on the ground! That's a lot of kids!

Oh look, it's a little fairy that might be confused as a child dressed up as one!

From fantasy fairies to giant puppets, it's all a wonderful way to tell stories. And my inner child still loves imagining these stories.

Sharing with Sepia Saturday this week...where Alan Burnett has hosted a regular prompt for many years from England...and lots of folks have posted some similar photos from their collections of old and/or interesting photos (usually sepia toned).

Treasure this day and treasure yourself. Truly, neither will ever happen again.

The Giants

 You've probably all seen them before.

But these extraordinary machines/dolls are just so wonderful.

Today's quote:

Risk itself is a process of constant unfolding. And taking risks is the process of peeling back the layers of what you are and who you want to be.
