Not the usual garden gnome by maggiemae

Not the usual garden gnome

Once upon time, a young and happy sprite landed plonk on two dandelions and with a very young owl on her shoulder, she revelled in the challenge for survival.
Her story was a struggle as she kept over balancing and falling through the thick grass on to her back!
I think she needs something to give her hope!

Three good things:
1. The sprite needs a name - a forest pixie, an elf of nature… a spirit of the underworld?
2. Her sweet owll belongs to her but is actually looking at me as I take this photo!
3. Who knows where this story will end?
Dandy... We await the rest of the story ... Great focus on the dandilion ..

She looks a "Tamara" or even a "Quamara"- she looks a feisty little thing with her bow and arrows while balancing daintily on the dandelions . What a find in your garden Maggie !!

It amuses me to think of a sprite landing with a plonk. I think pehaps she is a tomboy. Maybe I would name her Myzo, after the red headed myzomela.

She’s adorable, this is really clever, Maggie!

What a great find! Perhaps it's Ephemera?

Wow nicely composed!

such a saucy looking wench and perhaps her name should be Saucy? Looking forward to her adventures and to whether or not she ever runs across Yolanda or Mr. Man!

Tipsy Topsy popped into my mind as she has a bit of trouble staying on top of things! But then, she is a sprite and dressed in green which makes me think of Celtic things- so maybe Moira. I think I'm much better at naming Critters and Pigs with tubes around their tummies. (o: Looking forward to her adventures- as for hope- there's always the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! Cute shot.

Dandelions never looked so good & such a pretty little sprite & of course everyone loves an owl...what sprightly fun & games can she get up to...
October 2nd, 2018  
Fabulous shot, she reminds me of Robin Hood, so maybe Robina
October 2nd, 2018  
@onewing I do like Robina -simple but has meaning! Hello Robina!
October 2nd, 2018  
@grammyn I like @onewing 's choice so Robina may or may not feature again!
October 2nd, 2018  
A fabulous fairy tale and great focus on the Dandelions. Fav

What a clever little thing she is to land and balance so well.
October 2nd, 2018  
@golftragic She is young and has muscle power - which we hardly remember!
October 2nd, 2018  
Lovely fun capture
October 2nd, 2018

I think perhaps her owl friend could get some of his friends together and they could give her a lift

@casablanca Now that's the story, thanks Ms C!
October 2nd, 2018  
She has good core control!! Is she a spairy
October 2nd, 2018  
I really like her and Robina is a nice name for her, you know, we all like your stories and her and her owl would be good charaters for a new story.

@bruni Hmmm... I'll have to get the grey matter rolling. Thanks Bruni!
October 3rd, 2018  
Well done. A lovely shot.

@maggiemae Not wrong!!!

i think bettina would be a good name for this sprite! creative juices overflowing hey?
October 5th, 2018  
@summerfield I like that name too but not 'Betty''! She is far more spritely than a 'Betty"!
October 5th, 2018
