We can’t imagine a better way to entertain kids and awaken their imagination than a walk into an enchanted forest on a sunny day as it was this Sunday!
I call this forest (that is actually more like woods 50 meters away from our house) enchanted cause I and also my girls believe these 100-year-old trees are homes for ferries and gnomes.
Don’t expect me to express my feeling here in English!Sometimes can’t express them even in my native language – Latvian!
This forest is magical and I love to have walk in it, the sad thing is that there isn’t much to walk, it’s small patch!
Still, this forest gives us wild mushrooms and good times together!
Imagination makes this forest alive every time we walk in.
And when we are leaving our Enchanted forest, we always thanks for making our days a bit magical!

You’re so lucky having the fairies on your doorstep, even though their homes are in a small patch. You’re lucky to have wild mushrooms so close too.I don’t know about the gnomes 😉

…now I have to think about words I’ve chosen… gnomes – are those small and lovely creatures? Like Smurfs!?

They are usually ‘lovely’ but some are grumpy, to which I can have no objection, and some are a bit naughty. I’m sure all your gnomes are well behaved! 😃

Lovely images Ilze. A lot of my memories of Latvia are walking in the woods and forests, I can really understand where the folk tales come from. 🙂

You just have to believe and imagine 🙂 Don’t say you can’t see where they live, I had to while walking with girls in forest.. And I had to answer 100 questions 😀 Turn on your imagination 🙂
