Enchanted forest by maggiemae

Enchanted forest

The gate hasn't been opened for a long while. I didn't go through but hurriedly walked past in case there was a witch or a forester with an axe through there!

Three good things;
1. Met up with a grandson and his wife today for a lunch.
2. Lovely lunch in a cafe with a garden flooded with flowers.
3. Six days till Christmas!
six days! holy cow, i better get me arse in gear and get something for the partner. :-) there couldn't be a witch in there. too neat! lovely shot, maggiemae.

looks quite magical... i'm with @summerfield - in total denial...
December 19th, 2013  
Awesome shot
December 19th, 2013  
Wait...you have a grandson who has a wife? Cool shot!
December 19th, 2013  
it looks like something like that could be in there
December 19th, 2013  
oh, yeah, i meant to ask you, maggiemae. you have a grandson who has a wife? this means he's old enough to be someone else's grandson. when did you start, at 12? :-D

@summerfield @nanalisarocks He is my hubbies grandson - who has 22 grandchildren and about 11 or 20 (lost count) great grandchildren!
December 19th, 2013  
@maggiemae OH wow, now that's a lot of descendants!
December 19th, 2013  
Yes, Maggie. It is a very misterious place. Never stop here. You are still a brave woman as you could managed to take a shot of this gate... I.m joking, of course. I like the framing of the whole image and the wild look of the whole composition.
December 19th, 2013  
Wow that's a lot of grands to keep track of! Must be fun at reunions.

Lovely gate!
December 19th, 2013  
@jankoos never had one with all the grandchildren - thy are all over the world and are not millionaire yet- bother!
December 19th, 2013  
What? only six days left! Don't let the imagination come true.
December 19th, 2013  
@yaorenliu it does every night, Yao - in my dreams!
December 19th, 2013  
Frantic countdown begins now- thank goodness for some calm and peace on 365! Lovely framing of the gate, I'd definitely like to know what's on the other side!
December 19th, 2013  
@jackie8 I agree for calm and peace - even just looking at those words brings relaxing of the mind!
December 19th, 2013  
Wonderful shot for the imagination to wander and wonder. Witches, axe-wielding foresters, Bigfoot, snakes, or maybe even 'Lions and tigers and bears, oh my'! Love your three good things.

A stunning capture & presentation Maggie --- just beautiful !!
December 19th, 2013  
It does provide for a great looking entrance, kind of enticing
December 19th, 2013  
might be worth taking peek.
December 19th, 2013  
Love your processing - does look a bit scary but lovely too.
December 19th, 2013  
Wonderful light in this beautiful shot Maggie.
December 19th, 2013  
This looks so fairytale xx
December 19th, 2013  
Nice composition, with a bit of mystery!
December 19th, 2013  
A very inviting gate maggiemae.......it draws you in ....I bet it creeks as you open it, looking at the leaf in the front it hasn't been open for a while.
December 19th, 2013  
Lovely capture, intriguing.
December 19th, 2013  
beautiful shot! Has a certain air of mystery about it! Wonder what it would look like if you had the gate open?
December 20th, 2013  
is that a snake at the gate? kidding
please slow the days down
December 20th, 2013  
Enchanting indeed!
December 20th, 2013  
It looks beautiful, cool and shady. Not sure if I would venture beyond the gate...looks a bit dark and spooky!
December 20th, 2013  
Beautiful lighting captured at the opening. Like it's beckoning one to enter. Actually I think it looks quite friendly :-)

Wonderful mysterious gate to who knows what? Fab light! I always love your 3 good things as it lets us know you. We discovered today what an enormous family you have! How wonderful to have such an extended family!

@pamknowler In some ways, it is, Pam and in others we have to keep quiet as we don't agree with the behaviour that we hear about!
December 20th, 2013  
Lovely shot. It does look magical.
