Fall Nesting

While I'm still hanging on to the last, lingering days of summer, fall is one of my favourite seasons. So I've decided to participate in The Inspired Room's Fall Nesting




I wrote this on a previous post and this truly sums it up for me:

Autumn truly is my favourite time of year. I take in all of its splendor from rose coloured glasses.It seems to touch all of the senses - the crispness of the air, the crunch of the leaves, the intensity of the colours. But as an artist, what speaks to me most is the glory of the light.........God's Glory.

So, from an artist's point of view here's what I love about fall:

... the difference in the light
... the vibrant colours
... the crispness of the air
... the crunch of the leaves
... the smell of ripened blackberries
... the intense blueness of the sky
... going to the Pumpkin Patch with my students
... a smoky, autumn bonfire
... having to put on a warm, cozy sweater.
... the dew on the grass in the mornings
... the smell of my favourite pumpkin candle
... my kids loved and worn, handmade Halloween decorations
... pumpkins and hay bales on the porch
... scarecrows with crows perched on them
... dewdrops on spiderwebs
... smoke lingering in the air after a bonfire
... a drive in the country
... biting into a crisp apple

Oh....I could go on and on but I hope I have left you with a little fall splendor.


May a little grace touch your day !
