In Greek mythology, naiads were guardians and inhabitants of lakes and ponds. I've been doing a fair bit of golf this year, and in the process I've lost more than a few balls in water hazards. I like to think that creatures such as this one enjoy my *gifts.*

If I was a naiad I would have an amazing collection of golf balls. I think it's a good thing I'm not a naiad... Excellent pic, by the way!

hahah I like this pic...it's just the way she looks at the little golfball...Maybe other naiads got a terrible headache because you shot one of your golfballs to their heads...(there may be lots of naiads lying knock out on the bottom of the sea...)

Are naiads that big? I was expecting the golf ball to be about the same size as the naiad. Well, if there are naiads at the golf course, it shouldn't be too hard to see one if they are that big!

:-) Bronwyn McIvor replies: "I'm fairly sure that in Greek mythology naiads, dryads, nymphs and nereids were generally human-sized. After all, more than one hero had affairs with them."
