Happy Autumn

via Instagram

Been quiet around here.  Spending time outdoors to take in the start of autumn: the profuse colors, scents, and sounds.  The fog rolling in and then out, the stillness that abounds.  A heat wave has found its way here, and because of it I move languidly among the mums, blueberries, and dainty yellow daisies.  Hopefully this heat wave is short lived.  The earthy, rich colors though are here to stay as I stroll around and attempt to capture their beauty through the opportune lens of a smartphone.  Clumsily, quietly, I prevail.

Bright Days

I've never really been a bright color type of girl.  Often, I favor earth tones and neutrals, plus the occasional dusty pink, jade green, or plum purple come fall.  But lately, I don't know.  Maybe it's the summer warmth, the longer days, the onset of sun.  All I know is that it's a welcome change.

Here are some of my favorite recent Pinterest finds:
