Ode To Autumn

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY FOLLOWERS, FRIENDS AND FELLOW BLOGGERS!
This is the first print in Four Seasons a new four part series. It is titled "Ode To Autumn" It is a photomontage and my interpretation of the season of Autumn.
It is cold outside and the ground is covered with snow. Bare trees have mounds of snow on them in all kinds of whimsical shapes....maybe an idea is born for "Winter", part 2 in my series....

Mother Nature's Ballet....

Well October is almost over and I haven't added a post yet so here goes. Signs of autumn are all around, leaves turning bright colors and floating down off of the trees. Breezy days with dancing leaves, performing nature's ballet. Cooler days and colder nights, harvest time is blessing us with all kinds of goodies. Apples of all varieties, cider and pumkins to make pies and jack o' lanterns from. Leaves to rake. I've raked the whole yard only to have to do it again this weekend. The changing seasons keep us ever mindful that there is a time for everything, for every season under heaven......

Design for the season...

Fall is upon us and the leaves are changing into the palette of autumnal colors. This annual occurance has inspired me to paint this digital design. I selected a maple leaf from my photo archives and this is what I came up with.
We are kind of into our Indian Summer in northeast Ohio, several counties have experience their first frost. Although we are finding temperatures in the mid forties over night, the next several days will be sunny and in the low seventies.
Since gas prices are down a little, you might want to fill up your tank and take a little sightseeing excursion through some rural areas a little south of Cleveland and experience the magnificent colors of the turning foliage.
