Nature's Tapestry



Please humour me as I post one more photo of autumn leaves this fall season. This was taken before the wildly windy Halloween day that shook loose many of the colourful leaves that remained attached to branches in Boulton Centre, a small town in the Eastern Townships. It rather reminds me of a tapestry. I love the interplay of colours, of how the orange of the trees at the top off-set the blue of the sky’s reflection in the stream at the bottom. I also like how the birch tree crossing the stream causes your gaze to travel from left to right and also how the arch of branches above the birch tree pulls your gaze through the arch to the other side to the light coloured tree that stands upright in the distance. My eyes seems to be pulled all over this image, round and round.

  1. Thanks Chell, for the compliment. And especially for taking the time to comment. You cannot imagine how much the knowledge that there is someone out there reading my entries, boosts my spirits and encourages me with my blogging. Thank you!

  2. Indeed -- it is a tapestry! The composition is perfect. This could be turned into a watercolour painting. Yes, please keep blogging. I will comment often. This blog is a touchstone -- and I know it will help me get through the winter. Emme
