The Colors of November

The glorious fall trees have colored my world in beautiful shades of red, orange and yellow just in time for Thanksgiving.  We have a late autumn here in California but when it finally arrives it is spectacular!

Our Japanese Maple trees have turned vibrant colors and I clipped branches to bring inside.  This bud vase filled with leaves and a yellow autumn rose will be a welcome addition to the studio.  I am so inspired by these gorgeous colors...

The trees are painted in the light of late afternoon as I take some time out of the day to photograph them.  Soon all these leaves will be at my feet...

The beauty of fall is all around us now.  Our mums are awash in shades of orange that fuse with the surrounding trees.

Wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving filled with many blessings...
