This one flew past me near The Crown and Otter, followed by a flock of crows. |
It's getting to be that time of year again. The final days of summer will soon be upon us and we can already sense that Autumn is just around the corner. The nights are getting cooler and the days are getting shorter. The annual migration of Trolls out of the Big Hill Country has begun and a few have recently been observed on the outer regions of Gwelf. These aren't the scary ones though. These are the harmless and the curious ones coming down out of the hills for a little look around in advance of the bigger and nastier ones that will arrive closer to Halloween.
These 2 were standing in a turnip field just off the Post Road near Bambury. |
Don't be fooled by these early arrivals though. They may not be looking to start any trouble but if you scare one, or if they find their way into your wine barrel, there is still the potential for property damage, broken bones or worse. I just want to take a moment and remind everyone traveling in the Gwelf area this season to be cautious. I don't want to scare you but it is always better to put safety first. Trolls are easy to spot and even easier to smell. Stay vigilant and look for clues. Trampled gardens, broken gates and stray livestock are a dead give away.
This one was on Albion Bridge. There was something wrong with him, not sure what. |
There will be a lot for tourists to do in the Gwelf area this fall so please be careful and enjoy yourselves.
Thanks for stopping by. More soon.
I wonder if our Trolls ever cross paths.

ReplyDeleteThat last sketch is actually pretty scary. I don't usually associate your art with creepy, but you captured a really odd and unnerving expression!
