John returned from mowing down at the lower place and told me there was a fairy ring in the meadow. I grabbed my camera and we went down so I could see it.
One should avoid stepping into the ring, English folk lore says, or you may be forced to dance on and on with the fairies. When at last you fall asleep from exhaustion, you may awake to find that years, not hours, have passed.
The little girls aren't worried about legends.
I stayed clear.

Three fairies in the ring.
I see that Otter wants no part of it.
Ah ha, so you didn't want to dance inside the ring. You must have mentioned something to the girls so they decided to try it out! That's a wonderful fairy ring, and I take photos of them, but stay outside meself!
Was there ever a tree growing in that spot?
