My daughter's first imaginary friend was a pixie/ type creature called the 'Spiderwitch' who was born of a mispronunciation of a book in her bedroom and who she believed lived in a knot of wood in the floor. The single creature quickly became a whole species of mischievous, fairylike creatures and armed with a torch or her Spiderwitch spotting eyepiece we'd go looking for them ever time we went into the woods. For this week's photo challenge 'fantasy' theme, I planned to take her out and photograph her looking for her little imaginary friends and maybe photoshop some creatures in after. But when I put her in place, and encouraged her to use her Spiderwitch stick to see if they were hiding in the rocks, a flurry of winged bugs flew out into the light and just for a moment, her fantasy was real.
