Fairy Doors of Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor, Michigan seems to be plagued (or blessed) with fairy doors. These pint sized entries have been popping up all over the city for years. The very first one was spotted in the home of Jonathon and Kathleen Wright back in 1993. The doors spread quickly from there and they seem to come and go.

  My family and I went to Ann Arbor to see these doors for ourselves. We spotted a few and even saw a fairy sized store under the window of a human sized store and a movie ticket window.

Some of the doors seem to have been vandalized by jealous goblins who may have come through the goblin door that we spotted on our walk.

Once we were home, we noticed a fairy door had appeared in our house. The fairies forgot to lock it and we took a peak inside. 

  A few days later we discovered another fairy door in our bathroom. I guess the fairies must have followed us home and decided it was a good place to live.

Fish Friday May 30-June 5, 2015

I just love watching the relaxing and sometimes exciting atmosphere of the underwater world. All pictures in this post are screen shots from various webcams.


The camera housing has been cleaned recently so the pictures are very clear. The camera operators for the Cayman Cam are excellent.

I enjoy underwater webcams for the relaxing effect from watching fish. One of my hobbies is taking screenshots from live animal webcams. I will be posting a few screenshots from my week of fish cam watching.
