FF Readers, I recently did something that I haven’t done in a long time. Or at least a long time for me. I went on a vacation. One of my favorite activities is traveling and the recent pandemic stopped that particular hobby. It felt wonderful to vacate the Everyday and Travel just for its sake. We took a road trip on the West Coast and I was pleasantly surprised to find little hints of the fey even there. I hope you don’t mind me sharing some trip pics.

There’s something about the shapes that trees make, which makes it impossible for me not to take a picture. I imagine ancient beings sentenced to eternal vigils or mages trading blood and bone for bark and roots in order to become immortal.

I have a thing for doors, but who says a Door has to be a rectangle with a handle? I imagined these portals were doors to realms of earth, air, water and fire.

And of course, touches of whimsy. They add magic to the everyday.

What inspires you?
