The Cherry Blossom Little Fairy
In Rome there is a place where, in Spring, you can admire the Cherry Tree blossoming...
It's the Japan Walk, around the EUR lake. Petals not yet floating in the air, only the Elves' ribbon dances with the wind.
But between some days, delicate white clouds'll decorate the lake. It's the Sakura given by Tokyo city to Rome, in the '50 years. If you pay attention, you could see a little Fairy between the flowers: she's the Cherry Blossom Fairy.
Every Spring, the Japanese community of Rome - and always more Romans - celebrate the Hanami here. I go here, too, to visit the Trees and the Little People of the Park: Duks, Bumblebees and... Fairies!
Last Saturday and I met there the Little Cherry Blossom Fairy and a Sleeping Baby Elf!
Little Fairy told me that only the Young Trees are in blossom, at the moment, so she was waiting...
...that the Old Trees' buds grow up
and Sleeping Elves wake up!
In the meantime, she look at the lake and, thinking of the Beauty and the Fleeting of a Cherry Flower life, she help him to blossom.

Welcome back, Spring!
Today - at 11.02 a.m. (in Italy) - Spring come back to us! ^__^
Birds sing stronger to celebrate the Event and I, in front of such Intensity in spite of the last Winter's breath, can't help thinking about Emily Dickinson's verses:
I'm the little "Heart's Ease"!
I don't care for pouting skies!
If the Butterfly dealy
Can, I, Therefore, Stay away?

In the Wood
A distract look could say that it's yet Winter in the Wood...
But a sharp look notices the shining Spring news!

A Fairy Magnolia Tree
In an Enchanted Garden - so far from the city - there is a Fairy Magnolia Tree.
Last Sunday my Fairy Friend and me went to visit it. Magnolia is all in blossom, a sweet pink cloud!
Why is it Fairy? Because it's Beautiful, in my view. But, if it were not enough... Legend has it that inside each of its Bud sleeps a Little Winged Elf, who wakes up as soon as the flower opens, just before the arrival of Spring.
My Fairy friend enjoyed herself a lot looking inside each of them, trying to wake up the Little Elves, to admire the magic flowers opening, so I took advantage of this to take these snaps. It's a very rare event to see, for a Human!
Usually only Children, Fairies and Wild Mice can see the Little Winged Elves. It's very difficult to see them because, as soon as the flowers are opens, they fly away! But all of us can feel them, because it's their voice, in the last days of Winter, that whispers from heart to heart: "Don't be afraid, Spring is coming..."

Celandine is blooming!
Celandine's Stars come to announce the arrival of Spring at long last!
In the Wood Fairies are waking up... There is much to do, all the world needs new colors!
Celandine blooms when Swallows come back and in Flowers' Language she means "joys to come".
Its Flowers are shiny jellow... Didn't seems like Bright Stars? In Spring I have a feeling that they joint Heaven and Earth!
The Lesser Celandine is a small flower, but it was much celebrated. It was the Wordsworth's favorite flower, who dedicated her two poem.
That's just a little verse, one of my favourite:
“There is a flower, the Lesser Celandine,
That shrinks, like many more, from cold and rain,
And the first moment that the sun may shine,
Bright as the sun himself, ’tis out again!”
