November Brown


Brown seems a fitting color for November.  Even the Kinneyconick Creek looks brown at this time of year, due to low water levels and sediment, though the water is actually very clear.






I build a cairn of brown stones to honor the spirits of this place...




and an altar on which to leave an offering.




So many shades of brown to be seen at this time of year... grey-brown logs, red-brown cedar clapboard, myriad shades of brown leaves covering the ground...




Brown leaves look like beautiful calligraphy written across a striking blue sky...





Yellow- and red-brown leaves in the creek...




The warm brown of newly-sanded logs...




... and the fall foliage of a single redwood tree...




To enjoy more gorgeous brown, go to Jennifer Coyne Qudeen's or Julie Booth's wonderful blogs; they will hook you up with all the links!  Hope you enjoy!  Happy Fall, everyone!

RoyGBiv: Orange

What a wonderful time of year for orange! If there's anything we need more at this very gray and white time of year than a shot of orange (except Spring, of course), I don't know what it would be. Cheerful and bright, just the thought of zingy orange makes me feel a bit warmer.  I hope these photos will do the same for you. For even more orange, go to Jennifer Coyne Qudeen's lovely blog, where you'll find links to more Searching For RoyGBiv participants.


... this butterfly wisely chose the correct color when looking for a zinnia to drink from...



... a delicate orange shelf fungus on a log in the woods...



... a bright orange spotted salamander inside a hollow tree trunck...



... one of my favorites - a turk's cap lily from my garden last summer...



... fiery red-orange Indian paintbrush from my vacation in the Rocky Mountains...




... a variety of nice orange shades in this box of pastels...



...colorful sugar maples from a gorgeous past Fall...



... and this very brightly painted wall at the Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen's gallery in Berea, Kentucky (the upper left piece is mine)...



Coincidentally, the outside of the gallery is also kind of orange!



Again, visit Jennifer's blog to follow the trail to more orange of all kinds!
