📺 - describe a picture you’ve had in your head and wanted to take.
Ooooo! K, I gotta think.
I think I'm gonna describe something from my childhood. ❄️ I've had this picture in my head since I was really little, but it's impossible to capture (especially 'cause I'm not at all artistic)
Snow Faeries
Imagine Saskatchewan in winter (flattest lang imaginable, for hundreds of thousands of miles in every direction). The huge sky has been enveloped in frosty whiteness so you can't tell where the sky ends and the snow drifts begin. You're walking along the road, no vehicles in sight. The wind picks up little eddies of snow that swirl and glimmer like the trailing tails of glitter comets.
Those snow eddies can't be more than 4 inches wide, but often several feet long, gusting along just a foot or two above the wind-packed snow. And they wriggle and float like Asian dragons. I used to call them snow dragons. And each one was mounted by a regal snow faerie. Tiny. Aloof. Imperious riders sitting astride their tempestuous steeds.
Hundreds of them. All at once. Racing against snowflakes amid the guests of wind across endless prairie in a breakneck battle for who knows what sort of ridiculous faerie game and prize. Maybe nothing more than bragging rights.
