Deep in an enchanted forest, people come to tie ribbons to the offering tree. The tree watches them come and go, occasionally giving advice in return for the ribbons.

This is made with various photographs taken by my family (all used with permission). The base photograph is the tree with ribbons. The original had bare forest floor and a gravel path. The undergrowth and flowers have been added in from numerous other pictures. As it is an enchanted forest, not everything is to the same scale as a normal forest...

Photo credits as follows - Merlin Blake: Ribbon Tree, 12 Flower Photographs, Comma Butterfly; Daniel Greywolf: Picture of me; Polenth Blake (Me) - 2 Mushroom Photographs, Permission to use my photo. [2006 - Corel Photopaint]

Beautiful. At first glance it looks like a normal garden, but when you look closer you see the ribbons, large mushrooms and flowers, and more enchanted things. Beautiful.

WOW, I would have NEVER thought this was a whole bunch of different photos put together. I thought your backyard actually looked like that and you just made stuff out of clay or something.

SEAMLESS photo editing!! Congrats!
