The Grotto della Sibilla in the Umbrian Mountains which was first mentioned in classical legend. Guerino the Wretch reaches a mountain pass near Norcia in Umbria where he meets with the Devil. The Devil, of course, wants Guerino's soul and tempts him by describing a subterranean kingdom where every delight will be his. Seemingly, in this kingdom, trees flower and fruit at the same time and there is no pain or age or sorrow.Toadstools and tall birches,
In all I see around me I sense another world full of delight and games I simply am too much of a grownup to see. I shall have to keep at it until I can see it too.
The tall birch stands in my sister's front yard and the toadstools in her shade, the shade of the tree of course, not my sister.
I am certain there are pixies giggling and making faces at me, because they can easily get away with it. Just wait, one day I shall catch them at it!

The pixies are giggling and making faces, but they're dancing, too, and daring you to catch them at it.

Marvelous photos! You have a great eye to see the little ones in nature.
Lovely.

More and more I like my small world and find little need to look further. I'd rather know more about the little world inside this one. I've always liked nesting dolls and that has become a model for this part of my life.
