a walk in the woods

I was hoping a walk in the woods would help me regain focus for steady, solid writing. I think it is okay that I was inspired to paint instead.
caught in this morning’s light …

… butterflies in a mobile that a friend gave to me several years ago,
dried flowers disintegrating at a wonderfully slow pace,
oak leaves shining like jewels in a coronet,
and water dissipating on a window pane.

I do wonder if people think I’m crazy as I walk through downtown Boston and other city centers picking up leaves and sticking them in any available pocket.
I keep thinking I should plan a specific leaf-picking adventure with a proper bucket or plastic bag as container. But somehow it is more fun to be walking along to work or to shop and to be open to the possibility of finding … something … along the way.
Of course it is easy to behave that way when the sun is shining and autumn leaves glow like jewels falling from the sky.
I’ll be curious what’s to be found on the ground this day. Hope your day goes well wherever you are in the world. 😉

luckily I love orange …

… because I am having an orange day. At least that’s how I’ve decided to define this day, by the color orange. I mean, I didn’t expect it to be a green day or a blue one. I knew that I would work with the color orange at least for a bit. On the list of to-do’s that I created last night, I had planned to post the following image with the title “a bit of autumn colors on a plate.”
Yet the day began with me finding a funny bug on a window so I posted that picture instead and likewise little else has unfolded this day as I imagined it might last night. Nothing horrible has happened. Just the beautiful unexpected complexities of life that can leave one breathless. But as I raced about, my eyes kept being drawn to sunlight striking orange items. And finally, as I stopped to catch my breath, I gave myself permission to take the time to snap a few photos of the orange world deigning to reveal itself to me.
Of course then I gave myself permission to play with a few other colors in the autumn palette.
I managed to find at least one leaf. Imagine that.
And there were a few extra tomatoes from the dish I made last night.
Now as I tuck my camera away, I don’t know that I am anymore calm but my head is certainly filled with orange-hued and golden thoughts. It is indeed a lovely colorful day. I hope you’re having a good one too. 😉

Sunday at the Arboretum

Apparently each year I have to relearn that I am sensitive to cold. So, out and about on a late afternoon hike at the Arboretum, I didn’t last long before there was concern I might lose some fingers and toes. But before packing up and heading home for tea, there were some glorious sights to be seen. It is truly amazing the vivid colors present throughout the park with winter just days away.
