In the forest my grandmother showed me where the fairies live. Even after all these years if I am very still, they call to me, those quiet spirits.
Always, my grandmother's gift of magic has colored my view of the natural world. These images represent the love and magic that springs eternal between the old and the young.

Poetry
by Maggie Turner
Canadian Maggie Turner
writes and publishes poetry, photography,
and a personal journal online. Her work reflects
the current way of life in Canada, embracing
Canada's past, present, and future in a unique
portrayal of everyday life. Maggie's voice
is one of the many that actively depict the
rich diversity of Canadian culture.Photography: "a term which comes from the Greek words photos (light) and graphos (drawing). A photograph is made with a camera by exposing film to light in order to create a negative. The negative is then used in the darkroom to print a photograph (positive) onto light-sensitive paper.

Poetry: "a form of speech or writing that harmonizes the music of its language with its subject. To read a great poem is to bring out the perfect marriage of its sound and thought in a silent or voiced performance. At least from the time of Aristotle's Poetics, drama was conceived of as a species of poetry."

Journal: " "Though a journal may be many things - a treasury, a storehouse, a jewelry box, a laboratory, a drafting board, a collector's cabinet, a snapshot album, a history, a travelogue..., a letter to oneself - it has some definable characteristics. It is a record, an entry-book, kept regularly, though not necessarily daily.... Some (entries) will be nearly illegible, written in the dark in the middle of the night.... Not only is it a record for oneself, but of oneself. Every memorable journal, any successful journal, is honest. Nothing sham, phony, false...." (Dorothy Lambert from Ken Macrorie's book, Writing to be Read )
A journal is a way to keep track of your thoughts about what you read... as well as what you did on any given day."
