Mosaic Monday: Orange






I seem to be on a color kick lately.  The last two weeks, it was photos from our August vacation in Connecticut.  This week, I have some images that I've been creating for my Facebook group Colors of 2013 with Eva Ricci Studio.  The color of the month is orange.  The berries, seedpods, acorns, etc. are from our morning walks.  I'm a bit of a magpie, as you may already know.  The antique books are a fascination I got from my parents.  The little hand-painted tole tray is from my favorite thrift store, and the nature scene was shot this weekend at Natirar -- one of our favorite places to walk.  Happy autumn, dear bloggers!  :)

  2. Hi Mary,

    Your orange hues among autumn's many woodland treasures are both radiant and calm, as I imagine your walk in such a beautifully serene forest must have been. I adore tole trays and your image featuring this particular one, is rich with texture and mood.

    Thanks so much for hosting and have a wonderful week!

  3. Hello, Mary

    It wouldn't be autumn without the warm tones of orange found in nature. Your photos are exquisite.

  13. Hi Mary,

    I love your still life vignettes and your pretty outdoor fall photo. Your photography is lovely! Orange is not typically one of my favorite colors, but this time of the year, I just LOVE it! Fall is truly my favorite time of year.

    Thank you for hosting the party and have a great week!

  19. I am always in love with your Monday Mosaics, and the concept. I really need to remember BEFORE Monday and plan ahead! Beautiful nature shots - and true to "now."

  20. Absolutely, gorgeously poetic - just so beautiful, Mary - I don't really quite have words! You're orange is giving me autumn mosaic envy with my orange! ;) And the ironic thing is, when I first saw your first orange, I was sitting here and my eyes shifted subtly to the bowl of fragrant peaches sitting on the table next to me and, because of you sweet mums, I couldn't help but grab my camera and get going! Thanks for the inspiration that always seems to flow from you!! xxo
