glitter...

the early morning light in the trees makes the golden leaves glitter

and the birds

start their happy song........

A GLORIOUS TIME OF DAY.

i do love to decorate au natural,

using bits of found objects.

but, i also love crafted items and these cute chenille punkins found at the flea market

just make me smile..........

are you ready for

HALLOWEEN?

i want to give a big

thank you to

filled with cheerful imagery

and positive, uplifting messages.

thank you!

grateful...

autumn is fleeting.

i savor my playtime outdoors.

with camera in hand.
i squirrel away my time.
brush to canvas will have to wait for winters cold.

for now...



i drink in these gentle days.......

with an

oh, so

grateful heart.

seeing red...

i am exploring the color

RED

today

prompted by Chania at Razmataz blog found HERE.

for me......

a little bit of red......

goes a really long way.

i am more of a blue person.

always have been.

actually, i love all colors. never met one i didn't like.

i just prefer blue.

this time of year, well the red maples are doing their thing.

putting on their magic show.

i just love how autumn leaves look when they are falling peacefully to the ground.

i wanted to capture that moment and bring it inside.

i simply pinned these fresh fallen ruby's to my curtains using tiny clothespins.

i captured

a moment

in

time

indeed!

one day after taking these pictures,

the little leaves were curled up and dry

and my kitties had a field day pulling them down and wrestling with them...

what a mess.

still love the kitties.
