… for Rochelle’s Friday Fictioneers (on a Wednesday!) photo prompt..

We were enjoying a leisurely drink when Curmudgeonly Claud strolled over and joined us.
“Mine’s a scotch, who’s buying?” he mumbled.
He’s a proper misery-guts. Mention something exciting, and he’ll put a damper on it. Tell him about an interesting development and he’ll say it’s nonsense. Talk about a new discovery and he’ll just shrug his shoulders.
So, when he told us something unbelievable was about to happen we were gobsmacked!
“You’ll say you believe in fairies next!” I joked.
“I do,” he said,” there’s one in my garden”. Our laughter was short-lived when he produced a photograph of it!.

Prod Froggie the Fairy to see what others have witten.
Very observant of you/ him. 🧚♀️🧚🏻🧚♂️
Eyes like a hawk!
Awesome 👏🏼
❤️❤️🧚🏼♂️
Awww, thank you!
I did not notice it, but, sure enough, there is a fairy in that garden!
they are very good at blending in!
They are! I only saw one other reference in all of the stories, and that one may have been Tinkerbell.
Did you spot the model T Ford?
I’ve just spent ages looking for it with no success – are you kidding me Neil? !!
Yes, I was kidding. Sorry
Haha! You devil!!!!
Good spotting! I like how you described the man.
Thanks, I know someone just like him!
Great how the most unlikely persons sees something spectacular. I had too look for some time at the photo.. but I saw the fairy! Great imaginative take in the prompt.
I came up with the story before I saw the fairy in the picture – she was an added bonus!
Awesomeness!
The wee folk surprise you by showing up in the oddest places. I think they especially like to challenge those who don’t believe.
They do, you’d be amazed where I’ve seen them!
Hahaha. There is truth to every mad rant.
Indeed there is!
Oh wow! Such a good eye!
Thanks, Maria!
Oh my a fairy! Who would’ve thought
It’s amazing where they turn up!
I hope Claud’s discovery helps him to lighten up a bit. No-one should remain a curmudgeon forever. Cute story.
I’m sure spending time with fairies will lighten his load! Thanks, Margaret.
A curmudgeon with a surprise. Well done!
Even they have a soft spot! Thanks so much.
Gosh! You must have zoomed in a lot to find that!
A lot! Cheers, Liz.
Wonderful, Keith! I don’t have that zoom-in option on my PC, and did not see what you discovered 🙂
I didn’t discover it until I’d finished writing the story, I couldn’t believe my luck!
Well, that’s pretty amazing 🙂
The proof was all I needed, all straight from the diary of CS Lewis. Mind you, my brother was a Master Forger, he had all the certificates to prove it.
So the little fairies are attracted to pink, interesting.
A very useful brother to have, I’d have liked a few forged certificates! Try leaving something pink in your garden, you might be surprised!
Good eye! I had to go check my own copy just in case you photoshopped that in there. Great story too! 🙂
No, although I did use an editor to make it a little clearer! Thanks, David.
Oh wow! I wonder how I missed it – an so many other things 😀
It is rather well concealed!
Dear Keith,
They say he who laughs last laughs best. However I doubth Claud laughed. 😉 Cute story.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I can’t imagine him smiling somehow! Thanks, Rochelle.
what a lucky find. didn’t expect it to be there. 🙂
Haha! Good on you for zooming in! Fun stuff.
Cheers, Dale! It’s surprising what you find when you look a little closer – like many things in life!
This is so very true!
I love your descriptions of Claud. I think he might change with the appearance of a fairy, though fairies can be quite naughty. Good eye and good story!!
Thank you Brenda. The fairy has quite a challenge, but I’m pretty sure she’ll wing it!
I know people like Claud. That fairy is good for him. What a lovely fun story. The way I see it, Claud isn’t disliked despite his faults.
Thanks so much. I’d say he’s tolerated by them!
That is so clever – great spot Keith 🧚🏼😊
Thanks so much, Angela
Keen eye, Keith and a keen story, too. Nice!
Thanks, Nancy!
Nice catch, Keith! Maybe there is hope for him yet.
I’d like to think so! Thanks, Lisa.
You’re welcome 🙂
The fairy needs to sprinkle her dust on this ole grump!
Ole grump. I like that!
🙂
Ooooooo and there they are! Great close up Keith. And great story.
Always look out for fairies in the garden.
They do blend in quite well! Cheers, Laurie.
