First Day (many images!)


pretty monarch. the first i found 'awake'
we played a bit, and then they rested


another fawn!
we became friends, i think


pretty!


how did you get up there?!


playing at the spring


resting after an eventful day


i couldn't leave my friend alone, so i left the pc on overnight
and they were still here in the morning!
but i heard a commotion and needed to investigate...


!! a gathering?


i still don't know!

i'm happy you enjoyed them!

a few more from not long afterwards:


took friend to the spot the others were gathered earlier, but everyone had already left
nevertheless, we received the blessing(?) and frolicked


being a creep at the lake?
also, the season is different!
i like the springtime(?), i get lost in the fog


trading flower crowns


and masks - the white bulbous one makes a funny sound!


some connection issues, but so long as we waited by the spring we could meet again.


although perhaps i spent too much time at the enchanted spring, for whenever i left the fairy ring i would become a frog! the issue resolved itself eventually...


it became cold and gloomy, so i decided it was enough for today.
hope you're not waiting too long, friend;
let's meet again when the grass is green!

Amazing - your keen eye for

Smiling
Amazing - your keen eye for picture composition and framing is magickal

the second's vivid coat caught my attention!

a couple amidst the ruins~


i found this one particularly lovely


i wasn't expecting to meet one awake! they have a very fun look~


they beckoned me beneath the bridge...
(again i've become a frog)


and lead me down a mysterious path...

(...is it allowed?)

Ohh my goodness, this post

Ohh my goodness, this post has made me smile so much. Thank you for taking all these beautiful photographs, i love photo journals! Hearing about your experiences in the forest is very heartwarming.

That was my deer "P" that played with your fawn under the bridge : )
He was so happy to meet you, we hope to see you again soon.
What is the name of your cute little fawn?

Welcome to the forest!

I was worried it might be a

I was worried it might be a bit spammy, so I'm happy you're enjoying them \o/ It's fun to write them!

Oh!! I thought the symbol resembled a 'P'! I was happy to meet as well!
To be honest I hadn't really thought of a real world name. I think her symbol resembles someone waving, (or a bud growing out of the soil?) so I imagined it meant something like 'hello!'.

But maybe I should think of a proper name?

-------------------------------------------------------- day 3

note: sorry if the following images won't load, imgbb seems a bit slow today, maybe try back later!

Yesterday I was messing around with reshade (so apologies if I was slow and crashing, friend!) and suddenly noticed someone at the pond!


an adult! at the pond!


what will they become?
we played as squirrels and bunnies and birds, but our commotion must have awoken friend!
in my excitement to greet friend, the adult vanished.
i don't know what they truly looked like, as it seems the area around the pond removes all costume...


why is it always a frog?!
and why, always fog...


prancing about!


we greeted many, but these were the only awake.
for some reason i got the feeling they didn't want to play.
maybe it was my prejudice? the adult looked a bit devilish!


i now realize what P was attempting to show me, and feel a bit dumb!


playing with masks, mushroom trees are the best!


and back to the pond.
it turns out crows can talk, too!
we caw'd until we could caw no more.
(apologies to anyone sleeping nearby)

no photo but, i got terribly lost in the fog today. i couldn't find the pond at all! but friend showed me how to listen to the forest and find your way back home.

i took a lot today... so

i took a lot today...


so cute!! how did they get up there...


such a vivid color!


cozy!


friend is here!


i like the layered effect of this one


deep in the forest we heard a call
the fog is foreboding, but we must follow it!!


it's P!! \o/


p gave us cute coats!


a stroll by the lake


orange!


a nice view~


let's enjoy it


silly faces


we became triplets!!


triplets prancing


friend is looking very lovely!


shining lambs


shining lambs chase p!!


i thought to take advantage of the fog and play hide and seek


but i don't know if they understood my intent


i felt a bit guilty here... sorry friend!

unintentionally posing for the picture?


i found friend in a different fairy circle today


are we intruding on something?


daily prayer


hooray for springtime!


stop and smell the flowers
i just really love the colors in this area, it's like a painting!


as we played in the ruins a beautiful figure caught our attention
after exchanging the customary bows, they began to lead us...


checking back frequently to be sure we were following!


to a large meadow filled with flowers~
(perhaps we weren't supposed to play in the ruins)


we enjoyed the space until it was once again time to sleep
