Autumn colours.

The Virginia creeper which climbs up the wall

of La Petite Maison, is always the first to turn to such lovely shades of crimson.

I managed to capture the beautiful shades of gold of the leaves

on the Canadian oaks planted in rows in a field near my home.



These tall trees I see near where my daughter lives.

Another favourite walk we love to take when passing.

Fortunately I had my pocket camera with me whilst walking there recently.

Ah! good, a bench to sit awhile and soak up the splendour of natures beautiful colours.

Who wouldn't want to sit and devour these beautiful colours.

 I keep telling myself I should try painting 'en plein air'

This picture is not my own and I'm sorry I can't give credit to the photographer.

as I saw it on a friends facebook page and recognised where it is.

It's the old part of Limoges city near where I live.

It the colours that made me want to show it in my autumn colours post.

These are a few bits of autumn I brought home from my walk

waiting for me to sketch in my Moleskine journal.

With all the beauty of autumn around me

I have so much to capture, so I'd better get painting.

Couldn't resist showing a few autumn stems in a simple jam jar
