October brings dark collages

In the entire circle of the year there are no days so delightful as those of a fine October, when the trees are bare to the mild heavens, and the red leaves bestrew the road, and you can feel the breath of winter, morning and evening—no days so calm, so tenderly solemn, and with such a reverent meekness in the air.

Happy October month! I thought I’d just share two random collages today, that I made one dark October evening a few years back. They’re unusually moody for me, but I guess I was feeling the season.

My beloved October has returned—with its brilliant colors, cool temperatures and sunny, cloudless, azure skies, and I must enjoy it before it escapes for another year.

And here’s another one that is just perfect for autumn as darkness descends but also, the spirits wake up, hehe:

Wishing you all the best my dear. I hope you will always find beauty in the little things and that you will keep creating even on the dark days of autumn.
