This is a ravine south of Syracuse, NY, which features in my book “New York Fairies,” out July 8. According to legend, the slopes (seen here through the trees) were worn smooth by the Haudenosaunee Little People who liked to slide down them. #folklore #newyork #littlepeople #fairies
An ant works to open a fat peony bud. Another peony to the left has been successfully opened.
Splashy, vibrant pink peonies in a blurry green background.
A white peony with traces of deep pink at the tips of the inner petals. Blurry green background.
Happy Friday!
My peonies are in bloom, and each year I remember Grandma Ruth saying, “Ants work like fairies to open the blossoms.”
And she believed it.

#FolkyFriday is all about tricksters and here's one of the best-known in #folklore - Puck. I scanned this #illustration by Shepperson from the first instalment of the serialization of Kipling's 'Puck Of Pook's Hill' in the 'Strand Magazine' (January 1906, in fact).
