Austy Woods,in the county of Warwickshire,England.
In another week the bluebells should be in full bloom.

The dancing green blurs are leaves on a slender branch.....or they might be fairies.?

quote : 'Bluebells are magical and a sure sign of life re-emerging in our woodlands after the winter rest. These ancient woods are irreplaceable, and the bluebells they support are themselves steeped in history and folklore – fairies were said to be summoned by the ringing of bluebells.'

Such a lovely picture. I 'll look for the fairies when I make my annual visit to the bluebell woods here in North Yorkshire ! I feel it will take a little more than a week for them to be in full bloom here !

I like to think they're Fairies. Ah, whats that I hear?
Apr 23 2008 16:56 GMT styxpix
Yes, they're definitely fairies - our bluebell aren't out yet - it's colder up here! (Fairies are still sleeping)

Cute fairies

Oh, I´m definitely going with the theory that they´re fairies! :-D
I mean, this would be the perfect place for them too, right?
A beautiful(!) forest glade with flowers in bloom. -I think you should definitely call British Paranormal Research Society! ;-D

Best regards,
