Today I saw a strange sight whilst walking the dogs in the woods. Tied to branches with coloured string were feathers and twigs...some feathers were stuck into the ground......any ideas.

Posh has gone into burlesque??????

Edit. Posted at same time. No. But sounds very intriguing :-)

Susan with. Could they be dream catchers?

I googled too.....not as far as I know......there were quite a few of them so someone had taken a lot of time over the task.

Methinks that's Spooky - don't think I would go back ;-)

A 'free spirit' 'free spiriting'?

In other words, a numbskull with too much time on their hands :-D

They probably talk to 'crystals' (ie stones) at home.

I had a pet pebble once......

But it rolled away...

Maggie! :-D :-D :-D

Could just have been children playing.

I expect the wood nymphs were having a party Susan *nods head wisely* :-)

Can't be anything boring like that, Carol. You are such a killjoy :-) ;-)

Nymphs and Shepherds come away,
In the Groves let's sport and play,
For this, this is Floras Holy day.

Sacred to ease and happy Love,
to Dancing, to Musick, and to Poetry:
Your Flocks may now securely rove,
whilst you express your Jollity.

It is 'dream catchers' quite common is some countries. Must be somebody who passes that way regularly and keeps adding or a mystical ceremony ...................so fascinating. <3

Don't go down at night who knows what might be there!!

Dream catchers - not really quite common in some countries.

Quite common in shops that sell stones and call them 'crystals', the same shops that sell things that look like dream catchers, with wind chimes on the bottom!!
What is that all about???
Dream catchers are an ancient Native American concept, wind chimes Chinese - so how/why do these to aspects of religions half a world apart come together??
To make money selling to idiots - that's how, is one view, another is a total disrespect of another's faith with the same outcome - to make money.
Nothing magical at all.


As I said, I had a pet pebble once.....

I think you could be right Kitty ....nods even wiselier

No chance of that Nolls :-D

Nah Carol.....it was far to well thought out to be children

maggie you are soooooo cynical :-D

Definitely fascinating NS


my Georgies Kennel club name is Dreamcatcher

I think they must have done it overnight cos they weren't there the week before......I was just intrigued that someone would have gone to so much trouble......I think it looked quite nifty myself.....at least it must have got some locals talking. :-D

Damn fly tippers!

I think Dermot's hit it on the head.........of course how it is :-D

I reckon it's the men in white coats, seeing who takes notice of the feathers and twigs, they are looking for customers,seems like they have found a right one ;-)

Morning :-D

I had a lovely dream last night. I wonder if these twigs and feathers caught it :-S :-)

Woods are wonderful, full of miniature worlds we know hardly anything about.

Trees, undergrowth, fungi and minibeasts everywhere all living their lives in harmony until we human enter their world and tread on them! :-(
