For those interested in the origins of the title: In Greek mythology, Astraea was the Goddess of innocence and purity who reigned during the first Golden Age. This was an age when perpetual spring reigned, flowers sprang up without seed, the rivers flowed with milk and wine, and yellow honey distilled from the oaks. This age is now lost, except in the hearts and dreams of children. I hope you enjoy!

I am ABSOLUTELY in love with all of your pictures. I think that you've become my FAVORITE artist *wipes tear*

:-) Eric Wadley replies: "Thank you very much Sarah! It means a lot to me to hear that!"

*L* Um. The only think I really have to say about this one is that I absolutely love that you chose a dragon to represent that perfection and innocence...

:-) Eric Wadley replies: "Thanks! To me, dragons can represent many different things. Other than agreeing with the valid observations about the shape of this particular dragon from others, I like it myself."

This is precious, no better word comes to mind. It's wonderful. Makes me wonder if the dragon will take the flower the little girl is handing him...

(whistles) Mighty fine image!
I like how Earth's in the sky, making it seem alien and otherworldly to this realm that children visit. And the child is just darling.
Spectacular!

Not only the hearts and dreams of children...

yes - a quote is in order (sadly can't recall to whom it's attributed to)

'we don't stop playing, because we grow old - we grow old because we stop playing'

if anyone could help with that I'd sure be greatful
