If a fairy went for a walk...

by June

She might tread lightly through a moss forest...

or climb a giant birch...

...or scramble over pebbles by the river.

She might hover and swoop over the riffles...

...then pause to admire the fall colors...

...and a bird's feather...

...and play things left behind by the elves.

Sunset would loom.

Sometimes it happens that we go out for a science walk, but we find ourselves borrowing a pair of wings and going instead on a flight of fancy. Yesterday, we explored our favorite woods, alongside our favorite river. With fairy wings, every familiar thing became magical.
