The woods are full of secret, mysterious paths leading to magical little spots hidden away under the shade of centuries-old trees...
Passages hidden by foliage can lead into magical worlds, populated with elves, gnomes and fairies...
Little wooden bridges take you on the elves' footsteps and deeper into the green magic...
The secret paths take you to magical spots such as a wooden table and bench... a cool spring... a clearing... a little pond created by a creek...
... or even one of my friend Ornella's kitties, Terry, who loves to wander around (that's why her nickname is "Terrible"). It's good I always have some goodies with me... just in case! You never know if you're going to meet an elf or a kitty while exploring the secret paths... :)
My beloved Weißpfötchen (Zampette Bianche in Italian -- that means 'little white paws') used to accompany us on our walks in the woods... She especially loved the wooden bench. Whenever I go there, I think of her. Here she was already almost 17, we helped her a little bit taking a "kitty bag" with us so we could carry her on the way back or whenever she was tired. She was so precious, and the smartest kitty ever! She will always be missed (she left us at 18 and a half in November 2009).

Thank you for your sweet comments, my dear friends!!! I can see a lovely community of sensitive artists and animal lovers here, and that's so beautiful!!!!
Mercedes: you are a sweetheart, as always! Thank you for your sweet words! Yes, Weißpfötchen (of course she was bilingual) was indeed a really special girl! And I'm sure she's chasing butterflies with your Ferguson on Rainbow Bridge!
