It was such a beautiful evening. While I was out collecting the leaves to make the little lopsided wreath I noticed the soft, low light against the autumn trees. Honestly, the leaves seemed to glow in that light. It's just a lovely time to be outside. I collected leaves and strung them on thin wire. I just stacked them, one upon another, until I thought I had enough. It really takes a lot of leaves! I was running out of light and I wanted to try to photograph the wreath so I probably stopped even though the wreath could have used more leaves. Still, I think it's pretty. I'm not even sure you can tell what it is, but because I know what I was doing I can see the form:) Maybe I'll play around with it tomorrow and add more leaves. It's going to be a fabulous weekend, with warmth and sunshine. Perfect for playing outside with bulbs and moss and leaves and pansies and all manner of fall-ish delights! I hope you have a fun weekend lined up. Thanks for stopping by!
It's looking very pretty, Leslie. We have very few leaves left as it's been so windy the last few days. Nothing to even rake up! You have a wonderful love for the seasons, that's so sweet!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy weekend!

ReplyDeleteThe red bushes on my photo of stream scene is burning bush..bright red leaves in autumn.
Our Autumn trees are just now peaking! It's been such a pretty fall, and I hate to see it all end! But I am looking forward to some Christmas nature crafts.

Thank you Carolyn! I appreciate you coming to check me out, too! I hope you have a great week ahead!
DeleteLove your autumn wreath idea with the fallen leaves. I wonder if you took them and dipped them in glycerin before putting together if they would soften and be pliable and hold up for a time. hmmm.... you have me thinking on this one ~ a little experiment I may need to try out sometime.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try that, Mel. Today they are all a little crispy:)
DeleteWhat a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWe only had about 10 trick or treaters and I had tons of candy leftover. I made my husband take it all to work with him!
