Every time I walk past our local library I see the backside of a mysterious little house covered in moss and protected by a fern. Each week some new element appears and while I didn’t want to creep around the planting bed to take a closer look I finally gave into my curiosity and wandered into the children’s reading area. This tiny one room cabin is visible through a large floor to ceiling window in a quiet corner of the library where kids can relax, watch for little creatures and enjoy everything the library has to offer.

Great photo for the challenge! It made me think of our travels in Bali, where many people have “spirit houses”. Miniature dwellings for spirits that protect your home. They use them for offerings and prayers.

I’ve never been to Bali but from your description I can see why you were reminded of them. I love the idea of a spirit house. 🙂
