i am exploring the colorRED
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.
The picture of the "falling" leaves in front of your window may be one of the most magical and beautiful pictures I have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Don't you wish they would stay that way forever? I actually still use some that I pressed years and years ago when I lived on the East Coast. They're not as bright, but close. I love your idea. It made for a fantastic picture!
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me? I'm supposed to post after that?
ReplyDeleteholy raging rubies girl.....
you are amazing....I am in awe always. I also seem to be having a consonant competition.....

AMAZING RED !!!....love and hugs from me......happy weekend.....
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos. If you had pressed the leaves in a big book for a few days/weeks (not sure how long) they would have remained flat. Your picture is so ethereal that it really would be worth drying some leaves so it lasts longer.
ReplyDeleteOh Erin! you are just amazing! Was just browsing through your blog at the last few posts and your photos are so so art worthy!! That is not saying enough, just don't have the words, as you say. see ya, neighbor.
ReplyDelete...unlike you, dear friend of 31 years, I am a RED person...once again you have ignited a fire of inspiration. The first shot is splendiferous. I think I shall walk right through it...
ReplyDeleteThose photos are stunning Erin and what a clever idea. Isn't it wonderful that even though the leaves didn't last long you have them forever right here.
ReplyDeleteFabulous Erin.!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea... looks so dream like!!
We rarely get such red leaves here.. and as it is spring.. not at all!!! Looks like you had too much fun doing this!!
Have a great weekend.. xxx Julie
Erin,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the colors of Autumn and especially maple leaves. I would loved to have seen your kitties playing with them :)
Hugs,
Donna
fantastic idea and gorgeous photos. I agree with you though, you CAN have too much red!
ReplyDeleteOh...more delights from Erin! Your blog is a joy.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, just lovely and a new way to look at leaves. I love looking at life through your camera eyes. I have found a whole new appreciation of life and it's beauty.

Erin, thank you so much for visiting my faerietale blog & leaving such lovely words, so glad you enjoy the blog! Its a pleasure to meet you. This post is a beauty, wonderful images, its a great idea to do a colour study like this, i think i might give it a try too x
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I'd like to try it but if SHE WHO SHALL BE OBEYED caught me bringing leaves in the house she'd have me committed!
ReplyDeleteHi Erin,

ReplyDeleteOh man now I love RED!!!!

just gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Erin, your photos are absolutely gorgeous. Those maple leaves simply beautiful. I so miss the colors of Fall. And gourds -- I miss them, too. (When I was 12, friends and I would use them to hide stuff and put them in a tree in the woods with our stash.) Loved your photos of time spent in the country. And kitty with the watering can is such a fabulous shot. Your porch and entryway so charming and inviting. Everything is just so lovely. Hope you are having a fantastic Friday! :) Tammy
ReplyDeleteIf this were a contest you would win the prize! Love that photo! ♥O
ReplyDeleteErin, Just magical! What a wonderful idea and beautiful photography. Ann
ReplyDeleteThe leaves inside look like they are floating. Unbelievable how you captured the leaves with the light behind. The colors are glorious.
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous RED post, Erin.
ReplyDeleteHappy hugs for a lovely weekend! xx
Oh my goodness...I have never seen anything so lovely...you are brillant!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love red and am a blue girl like you but red and blue together have been one of my favourites lately...
Can I use one of these and link back to you my friend?
Really I have never seen such beauty...my all time favourite photo is the one where you lightened out the background of your fallin leaves and pumpkin image
Hugs. xooxxo
