This "Late Summer Faery" is a bit like the rest of us... hiding from the heat in the shade of our Lemon Myrtle Tree... she didn't even look up as I passed by her. I only had a quick impression of her but she was a fine and delicate a faery as I ever did see. I could see right through her and wouldn't have noticed her at all had I not stopped next to her in the shade before going out in the sun to hang out some washing. I wonder in what dimension of the 27 known (and no doubt there are hundreds more) do faeries hang out their washing. Then again if they are not bound by the same morality laws we are...why do they need clothes and why do their clothes so closely imitate ours...?
Maybe they really are the "little" people from ages past who went into the hills and it is we who have copied their dress code...?
So are there Versace faeries? Are their K Mart faeries or Op shop faeries?

What a sweet little faery! She seems so contemplative ... and perhaps a bit sad.

Morality! Ugh! Off with our clothes! Since it's about 25 degrees below the freezing mark where I am right now, it's probably still a good idea to wear them outside, though! :)

Now Dan, you look pretty comfortable in your clothes in the photo - even the faeries don clothes just for fun, no doubt for warmth and in our spot so the sun doesn't fry the beejesus out of us all... its 85% humidity here and was that at 8am...uesterday etc and right back to December no rain and no relief... no wonder that faery looks so droopy...

and thanks so much Steve, from someone who can draw and paint things that is appreciated.
