Green to red to yellow to brown


Even though Indian Summer is most likely over there is still so much material waiting for collection. This is the season when we can more than ever focus on colours. Autumn is full of them. I have already talked about this in 'Leafy wonders' post few weeks ago. Therefore, can you imagine what the colour scheme looks like now?


This is the time when trees still have their crowns full of leaves yet these start to change their colour. It is the time before trees shed their leaves completely.

Here, they are turning from green to red.

Trees look more interesting this time of the year. They are not just covered with tones of greens but also shades of reds, yellows and browns. I am sure that between now and the time leaves disappear from trees completely, I will bore you with more images and text relating to them.



This is also the time when wind starts to pick up. Have you noticed how windy it has become over the past few days? Similarly to spring, I felt that I brought half of the park home with me; in my eyes that is. They were full of dust and whatever could fit in.

Wind also makes it more difficult for me to take pictures.

First of all, I find it hard myself to remain still when a wall of wind hits me from any side possible. Once I manage to secure a stable position, I realise that my subject is also moving making it difficult to capture the moment. Nonetheless, the image I may end up with is also rather interesting, don't you think? The colours remain the same but become blurry introducing new possibilities.

On this note, I will leave you for another week. Beginning this week, I intend to return to designing I can make public. The truth is, I have started to produce for Xmas. Yes, the C word I do not want to reveal correctly just yet. After all, we are still at the beginning of October. However, by creating my first gift, I was allowed to explore certain way of making/joining. Therefore, have a nice week and see you soon. Kx

Another day, another squirrel


Whichever park you go to, there is a great chance you come across a squirrel or two or... I went out to simply get out for a while and soon after entering the park, I just had to reach for my camera. My subject was once again a squirrel.

I actually felt the stare coming from this little creature. Half hidden by the grass, this squirrel kept looking at me as if saying 'What do you want. This is my patch of the park'. Soon after, I was left to my own devices and the squirrel went off to explore its territory.

Which is why, yet again, I found myself chasing a squirrel with my lens enjoying it all with a big smile on my face.

To be honest, I also felt stupid since I would run after this little guy with my camera tripping over my own feet.



The squirrel was the one in charge here. Running from one patch of grass to another, eating whatever it found, jumping just as I pressed the capture button on my camera. Still, I enjoyed every minute of it. Stupid or not, it was fun.


Just look at the pictures. Aren't they fun?
