This morning we had the chance to go on a leisurely walk with our oldest daughter, and our 2 granddaughters. They're at the age still when the 'education' system hasn't destroyed their sense of magic and illusion and imagination. Little people can still live under mushrooms and the forest is still an enchanting place. Here are a few shots of our experiences today.

surely home to some of the little people of the forest !

What a joy to take the children out on a magical walk! I can only imagine that spending time with them, walking, talking, and story telling is one of the best times of not only their young lives, but yours as well.
Amazing shots, very nice close ups of the mushrooms. I've never seen a magical mushroom before, they're not quite how I had them pictured in my imagination! :-)
wonderful images!! indeed magical!
I enjoyed both reading your post and watching the photos you posted. Thanks for bringing me back into my childhood. :-)
@darlin - we treasure these times and get as much out of them as possible! You might note that I called them 'magical' mushrooms and not 'magic' mushrooms - the magical ones are home to the elves while magic ones turn you into an elf (so I've heard) !
Thanks Darlene.
@Costea Andrea Mihai - thanks Costea!
@MedaM - thank you Meda. Childhood can and should be a magical time. Tragically, for many it isn't.
These are brilliant, Rick! I love mushrooms so much! I still believe in enchanted forests... but now *I* am the one who is tiny and lives under the shelter of fallen leaves. Imagination is a wonderful thing. ;o)
Die vierde vind ik super super mooi, ik wil daar zitten! :)
The photo of the bench is beautifully framed, very relaxing - Makes the observer wish that he/she was there :-)
Greetz,

very beautiful forest photos.
@Krista - I hope your forest is as enchanted as the one we walked in ! Thanks Krista - soon you'll have to part company with the wee ones ;-)
@Biana - nou, kom maar een keer kijken ! LOL ! Dan kun je ook een paar kabouters opzoeken !!
@CarreraCaballo - thank you Joseph - I'll reserve a spot for you! ;-)
@imac - so true mac ;-)
These pictures are magical.The trail through the woods just begs for someone to walk along it.I love pictures like that.
Blessings,Ruth
@chasity - you have to look through the eyes of a child to see that ;-) Very well done !
Thanks Chas!
@Ruth's Photo Blog - it WAS magical Ruth - little elves' houses found everywhere in the forest, the dappled sunlight among the trees, children's laughter ...
Thanks Ruth!
Oh Bugger Rick..aren't they!! Now you've rained on my parade, I thought they were real..tee!hee!hee!
What magical photos these are.... Oooo, I want to go there! The light in these photos is just perfect...certainly adds to the mystique of the pictures..
@Katherine - sorry to let you down so hard Katherine ;-)
I also went for a walk there the previous evening - didn't bring the camera (argghh). Went again the next day - WITH the camera - a truly wonderful place for a long walk!
Thanks Katherine.
I could frame your first photo and stare at it all day long.......
@Anonymous - thank you for your kind and inspirational words !
