Danny didn’t know how long it had been since he had seen this place. He used to come here often when he was a kid. Always wanting to see where the door led. Maybe nowhere, but maybe to some tunnel that led to treasure or led to a new special place. When he had come as a boy the door wasn’t covered with weeds. It had been a door to another world.
Now, Danny looked at the door. He felt like he wanted to crawl in and just sit quietly, peacefully, by himself without the rest of the world bustling around him. He still wondered what was behind that door. Maybe nothing, maybe a whole other world. He figured he would never know and soon the door would be covered so completely by greenery that it would be lost until someday, someone decided to cut down this forest. He hoped he wasn’t around for that.

I like this. I have passed the green dell many times over the years and watched the herbage encroach and smother, and wondered so many times what’s inside the metal box. Hey, it’s a door to a magical world of unicorns and wizards and elves 🙂

I love walking in the woods and coming across old structures and things. I grew up reading the Secret Garden and I guess I am always looking for one!

I spent so many childhood days in the woods… where fairies dwelt in the ancient beech trees, and gnomes hid under the forest bank.
