Fair Sarah Fairy

As a gift to a dear friend of ours I created this image from a simple photo that I shot of her daughter in our backyard.


I know a bank whereon the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses, and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania some time of the night,
Lull’d in these flowers with dances and delight;
And there the snake throws her enamell’d skin,
Weed wide enough to wrap a fairy in.
- William Shakespeare (1564-1616), A Midsummer Night’s Dream, II, i, 249
