NATURE'S ARTWORK

Season changes in New England are always very dramatic.  When nature begins preparing the landscape for long, dark, cold days ahead, she leaves a special pallet of colors and designs that are barely noticeable but can, in fact, be stunning.

Grays of stone surround the pale rust of leaves.


These stones glimmer in the soft morning light.



Dried pods dot the hillsides ready to spread their seeds.






Shades of misty blue are even more dramatic when set behind a darkend forest.



Acorns cast their own tawny hues along the roadways.




Storm broken branches and cat tails form their own woodland sculptures.


Pine cones and leaves cover the forest floor with beautiful designs
painted in burnt umber, ochre and shades of beige.


This is my New England!
