Blessed autumn and all that colourful jazz

Autumn is here in a big way! The other day I was sitting on the kitchen floor talking to my mom on the phone (my cordless phone is chronically dead) and I looked out this window and just could not believe the colours. Absolutely stunning! Here is where I shoot all the pretty shots of my food, the one area of my house that gets natural light and has there ever been a plethora!



Even my walks have been pretty and you know how much I loathe my neighbourhood. Fall has come out in a big way. It was the one season in BC that was a disappointment. You do not get these bright colours there at all. Leaves either just wither and fall away colourless or they hang on until next spring. Still, with winter coming here, I would have no complaints.



I took this photograph of me on my deck after I went to the hairdresser's. The hair dresser I have had the entire time I have lived here has moved on and for the last few months I have been trying out new ones. None of them felt right until yesterday. She understood what I wanted when it came to colour and did a fabulous job cutting my hair too. You can't really tell in this photo but my hair has a reddish purplish colour to it now. Something festive and cool for Halloween.

Yes, soon I will be a prisoner trapped inside my house but for now I will enjoy the last celebration of nature through her colours. I even changed my own colour to mimic the trees. We are approaching a long and challenging cycle. I might as well celebrate while I can, be out in the sun and walking while there is no snow. Living an artful life among the many colours of autumn.
