Things are never what they seem at the Hollow .. perspectives change, big benches and little birds seem to reorient their sizes .. fairies appear and disappear, critters gain voices .. and sometimes, just sometimes, us plain old mundane humans get glimpses and hear the discussions. Since strange things are normal happenings at the Hollow, I thought nothing of it when I overheard the discussion as to just who was going to get to sing Happy Birthday to Steve .. The little Fae of the Red Wing Clan seems to be listening in, too, or maybe she's the mediator. I didn't stick around to see who got to do the Birthday Song, just snapped the photo and hurried off to send it out to you, Steve. Hope your day was wonderful, and it looks like I won't make the posting on time, it's just midnight here, but in your time zone .. it will be still be on time!! Yippee for Time Zones!! So I wish you all the usual, health, wealth, happiness and joy, and also that your Muse sticks by your side and continues to prod your imagination and give you wonderful ideas, that your creative juices never stop flowing, and that the sun shines plentifully on you. Happy Birthday Steve! I put this in photo manipulation category, because as I understand it, if all the components are my own photography, then it's considered a manipulation. It's all bits of my own photos, reassembled into this image. Many thanks for the wonderful comments on the previous posting and the faves. Janeeden has a few more wonderful tubes of her pets in her free stuff, and also at Deviant. There's wonderful backgrounds as well. I haven't checked to see if the same things are in her freebies here. Working on catching up .. or at least leaving a few comments in everyone's galleries.
