The Fall color has been lovely this year. The rain intensifies the color. The brilliant yellows contrast against the dark wet bark of the trees.

This shrub in my neighbor’s yard took my breath away. Even though I was running late I had to pull my camera out of my bag and document the rich oranges, yellows, reds, purples and greens of the leaves.

Those same colors have been warming up my studio on these rainy afternoons. And I can pull them out again in drab February and reminisce about Fall color.
