Autumn is Back





Crispy brown leaves from my garden....autumn is here!



I can't resist the colours at this time of year.
A  song by Irish jazz/blues singer Mary Coughlan comes to mind.

Like the wind takes a leaf from a tree
Time will take your love from me.....

I've been itching to draw some leaves but keep putting it off. Guess I'd better get started before they're all gone!
Yours are inspiring. I love the way to light strikes them, and your colorful shadows!

Nice! I can almost hear them crunching under my feet!

Beautiful leaves. I have been painting them myself. I love the fall and all things associated with it. I live where there are mild winters compared to the rest of the USA...we rarely get snow. Next up is painting pumpkins...they always make me smile.

Glad you're back online. Fires are terrible things.
