Today's new drawing is a type of Elf
called a Barefoot Elf. Since she is female she is also a She-Elf.
Barefoot She-Elf with Mute Swan and German Brown Trout
As you can see from this drawing, the Barefoot She-Elf does have shorter legs than most Elves. By the way, this She-Elf is named Aurelina. She is not guarding the forest in this drawing, she is relaxing on the river. All Elves are lovers and caretakers of Nature. Here Aurelina is hanging out in Nature with her friend, a Mute Swan. Aurelina wears light armor when on duty guarding the forest. Here she is just wearing a comfortable and simple dress.
If you read my blog regularly then you know about Barefoot Elves. They are a group of Elves that are particularly good at hiding. They originated with some Elves that married Hobbits. From 2 previous posts:
Barefoot Elves are descended from the union or marriage of Brimley and Arwina thousands of years ago. Brimley was an early Hobbit... or you could say Protohobbit. Arwina was an Elf Princess. Their children were raised in the Elf community of Rivendell and so they married Elves. Through the years these descendants came to be known as Barefoot Elves. They are incredibly sure-footed and are adept at keeping themselves hidden. The Barefoot Elves tend to have slightly shorter legs than other Elves. Most of the Barefoot Elves eventually moved to Mirkwood and lived among the Wood Elves. So now most of the Barefoot Elves are considered a type of Wood Elf. http://gr8coloringpages.blogspot.com/2020/08/barefoot-elves-family.html
When one of the barefoot Elves runs through the forest they can feel where they are going. They can run perfectly balanced on branches and jump back to the forest floor much better than the Elves. That is saying something, considering how well the Elves in shoes can run, jump and sail through the forest.
Like their Hobbits ancestors, barefoot elves are often chosen for watch and scout service. This is because, as a Hobbit, they can remain invisible when they walk and even run. They can run and walk so quietly that no orc, goblin or troll can hear them. Even the children of Ungoliant cannot hear or catch a barefoot fairy. (Children of Ungoliant are the species of giant spiders in Middle Earth.)
The Mute Swan is an Old World species, although some have been imported to North America, Australia, New Zealand. . . and they live in other parts of the world too. For instance, they are found in both North and South Africa. Mute Swans are monogamous so they are a symbol of love in many cultures in the Old World. Mute Swans measure from between 49 and 67 inches long. That is 125 to 170 centimeters in length. They are much less vocal than other swan species, so that is why they are called "Mute" Swans.
The fish is a Brown Trout. These trout are a European species and are found native to both Europe and Great Britain. There are some Brown Trout that live much of their lives in the sea and, like salmon, only return to the freshwater environment to spawn. That is called an anadromous lifestyle. The first Brown Trout in the USA were obtained as eggs from a German... namely Baron Lucius Von Behr who was the President of the European Fishing Society. A fish farmer named Fred Mather imported them to New York State, USA. So this is why the Brown Trout is sometimes called "German Brown Trout."
We have this species living here in our lakes and streams of Utah as well. They are also called Lake Trout. The biggest Brown Trout I ever caught measured just under 15 inches or around 38 cm. I caught it in the Provo River near Provo, Utah, USA.
NOTE: I will posting this in German since it has a German Trout on int. This drawing, in printable form, can be found by clicking on the button labeled: Birds and Fantasy, Myths, and Circus. . . . or . . . . . . . . . .
As a final note, since I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I am posting things to be grateful for. Our prophet, President Russell M. Nelson challenged us, for one week, to post daily on social media what we are grateful for. So, today I am grateful for Fantasy, Mythology, and Science Fiction. I love how they often have great storylines that can teach tolerance, love, dedication, friendship, and sometimes even faith.
Below are a couple more drawings of Barefoot Elves. These are from previous posts.
