Lullaby for the Forest Fairy

The adventure of finding the Forest Fairy started this morning. It was exciting but very relaxing at the same time. A lot of little birds were responsible for the latter - they sang a forest symphony, all in tune and with perfect expression. I could not help myself but record some parts of that concert that nature gave us.

But there was a huge danger that this chilling bird's tunes could bring - I almost forgot about the adventure of finding the Forest Fairy. The green leaves and some simple but charming flowers also conspired against the success of my searching adventure. I paid too much attention to them.

I didn't even ask for the names of these flowers.

Shame on me...

...but it's that my husband was reminding me sometimes not to stay for a long time alone in the woods. He was worried I could get lost in the forest and that there could be a wolf hiding among the trees.

To my great surprise, I hadn't met any wolf just a trace that there were sheep and shepherds around. A little issue - they were invisible to my eyes and my phone could not catch them either.

...

You don't believe me? 🤔

Oh, how can you not believe me???

Look, here is the proof! This is the Shepherd's Purse, so a shepherd must also be there, right?

Ok, I get it. It is just the name of this plant, that we also used to find as kids. Back in time, it was funny to tear off the heart-shaped leaves and find out if our secret crush loved us or not.

Anyway, the adventure of finding the Forest Fairy was still waiting for us after the episodes with the bird symphony, flowers, wolves and shepherds.

The map of a hiking route and the sign to go to the spring was my last hope to find her. On the map, I saw the snow hole we visited once (the spot I point with my finger) but it was not my destination today. We had to take water from the spring...

...spend some time in the picnic area and finally find the Forest Fairy that lives there.

In the end, I understood why it was so difficult to find her. She was silent and calm, hidden in the embrace of one tree. She was having a nice dream, with a smile on her face.

Her closed eyes made me stay silent too, not to wake her up.

The birds continued with their music but with a softer intensity - that is how the symphony became the lullaby for the Forest Fairy.
