We all laughed when we saw this photo for the first time. I think it would be a good illustration for fairies at the bottom of the garden!
Not sure what happened to the lens on some of my NZ photos but I think a certain little person might have put his sticky finger on it.
The way this smeary bit has just given me a sort of ghosty look is funny!
Hahaa - I thought you'd been at photoshop for a minute! You're in just the right spot for a fairy as well - looks idyllic. Probably is a smear - this is what I did to the queen last year so you're in good company!
