Inspired by Autumn’s Colors
I am inspired by the shift of seasons. I am inspired by autumn’s colors, though it feels a bit like I missed the whole autumn because of that horrible cold and then back pain. Plus a load of computer work as I’m writing articles and editing a magazine right now. But I managed to take a walk one of those sunny, crisp days.
I brought my camera and managed to capture some of the beauty. I am inspired by autumn’s colors so I picked a few leaves to create another autumn mandala with. Now all the leaves are gone, and Sweden is a gray and boring place until it gets colder and we might see some snow…
This was one of my favorite finds from my walk:
I can’t recall ever seeing these before, and I don’t know what they’re called. But they are pretty, aren’t they? Orange pink is such a beautiful combination of colors.
Of course, what one person finds ugly and appalling, another (me!) finds beautiful and inspiring. That is especially true when the sun is out. I think so many things become more beautiful in the right light. Like rust and tags on a wall, a combination of patterns and colors. I found a lot of graffiti walls on my walk this time, but I’ll share them later.
Also, pallets in a pile makes beautiful patterns.
And when I came home, I created a quick little table decoration:
My first try at making a autumn mandala was in 2013. That one was more elaborate, but since it was several years ago, it was about time I made another wee one. And I took the time for that walk. It was lovely.
De cerise-orange hängena är frökapslar på körsbärsbenved, Euonymus planipes. Visst är de läckra! Har sett dem i flera år på ett ställe här i närheten och letat efter ett namn på växten. Men för ett par veckor sedan upptäckte jag en bild på en hemsida och fick tag på fotografen som visste vad det var.
Åh tack snälla Elisabet, det är alltid skönt att få veta namnet på saker man gillar tycker jag. Och vilket vackert namn sen! Tur att internet finns!
If you had a like button I would have pressed it! Like!
Writing a “like” is totally okay with me, big thank you Sandra, for doing that. It made me smile.
hi hanna :) “pallets in a pile make beautiful patterns” = a tongue twister! thanks for sharing your walk with us. glad your feeling better. i love orange and pink together and graffiti. looking forward to seeing more photos of that. <3
I didn’t think about it as a toungue twister, hehe, thanks for that. Thanks for letting me know you like graffiti too, then I will try to upload all those photos, I took way too many as usual.
