You were once wild here. Don’t let them tame you. —Isadora Duncan
I live on the side of a mountain. Just beyond our backyard is a state forest—Norvin Green State Forest. (If you’d like to see a map, you can look here. We live on Otterhole Road.) It’s a magic place. There are toadstools and goldfish ponds and bear caves and moss beds and fairy houses. I only have to venture out the door and I am in the wild. It’s a constant reminder of: who I am & where I come from → The Forest.
I believe that magic exists all around us and that each of us has an obligation to tap into it and create it in our own lives.
I feel so blessed to live where I do because the magic is so present here. We are blessed with magic trips and visitors all the time. I thought I would share a few photographs that I’ve snapped over the past year to show you what I mean. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Our backyard in early spring.
Our camera shy dog—Bella.
Wild turkey & deer families are regular visitors.
The forest goldfish pond.
Our favourite visitors are bear families. We begin to see them in the late spring when the babies are tiny. Then in the late summer when our apple & pear trees begin to drop fruit they return to feast! This summer we’ve seen three separate families come through.
Hope you enjoyed this little peak into my magic life! What magic do you find & create in your own life? I hope this post inspires you. ♥
In love & light,
Dena
