"Enchanted Faerie Tree"













This Enchanted Tree is one - of - a – kind ~ OOAK
An another of my original designs I was inspired to create after a long hike in the Canadian wild woods gathering Million Year old fossils {Bryozoans} from the Ordovician Period dating back 443-490 million years ago.
They are simply and utterly magnificent with their crystallized swirls …magical and whimsical …and the Enchanted Tree I have constructed sits on one of the rocks from that period. This is no ordinary rock but a fossilized rock dating back millions of years and is blessed with a gorgeous crystallized fossil heart; all created by Mother Nature herself.
It maybe that the tree is a harmony of the Oak, Ash and Thorn and when grown together they create a magical place where little faerie folk can easily be seen and so it is a very much in love duet you see, that sits under one of the offspring branches of the Hawthorn right next to the sparkling heart by the root of the tree.






Below is the poem I had written when I discovered the Dead pool of these wondrous ancient fossils:A repeat from when I first started to blog.



A Zillion Earthly Stars

Along a narrow winding road
I came upon a hollow grove
When to my eye did meet
A fantastical, magical, wondrous load
It shimmered and gleamed
And in between the moss did grow
For in an instance I did think
I’d seen a zillion stars ablaze
The sun shined brightly through the trees
Its friend the breeze accompanied
And together played amongst the leaves
Casting shadows on the scared ground beneath
Fragmented light bounced to and fro sporadically
Upon the zillion earthly stars I’d seen
And in their enlighten glow
They cast a stage of a beautiful twinkling fairy dream
Dragonflies and bees
Hovering in the breeze
With every flicker of their gossamer wings
They glittered and they gleamed
One by one they scattered until there were none
Oh, but wait
A little dragonfly had stopped
And landed on a stone
And at the little ones delight
I placed my hand to touch
To see how this could be
Could it all be what I believed?
What I had thought
The dragonfly and stone
Were of reality

Twilight at Sea


The Twilight Hours like birds flew by,
As lightly and as free;
Ten thousand stars were in the sky,
Ten Thousand on the sea;
For every wave with dimpled face,
That leaped upon the air,
Had caught a star in its embrace,
And held it trembling there.
