The leaves in my corner are past peak and, after the Nor'easter last Friday, many have been lost prematurely. I'm still taking a lot of pictures before it all fades to brown because, no matter what's been said in the past week, this is my favorite season.
A brief explanation:
1. Playing with layers and gradients in Photoshop
2. A ladybug in her orange phase just before turning red
3. A Ground Bouquet...I'm taking lots of photos of these as I'm always amazed by how artfully the leaves land (No, I do not rearrange them.)
4. A large piece of birch bark, which will feature prominently in tomorrow's "failed" mosaic (maybe...depends on crazy modem)
5. A birthday bubble balancing on top of the fence post
Please visit Mary at Little Red House for more mosaics!
(Concerning computer woes — another visit from the techies tomorrow. The service is sporadic at best, but I will be visiting as it allows.)
This is a beautiful fall mosaic! Love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall colors and a lovely mosaic.
ReplyDeleteYour Fall colors are gorgeous! I love Mosaic Monday! ♥
ReplyDeleteGorgeous mosaic. Maine is so beautiful this time of year. Love the lady bug!

Enjoyed your autumn mosaic and visiting your blog. I read your blogging thoughts and tend to agree--or have similar thoughts. It's always good to be evaluating things in life ... have a good week.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be lucky to have leaves in another week or two. That's the sad part for me - losing the layer of privacy around our yard. The thing I welcome about late fall and winter is getting some work done inside.
ReplyDeleteIs that one of those nasty Asian Lady Beatles that try and get into our home every fall?
What a gorgeous mosaic. That little ladybug just tugs at the heartstrings - so delicate.
ReplyDeleteOh Vee, I'm so envious of your Fall colors. Here in Texas we are still green with a bit of yellows, golds and oranges beginning to pop up with the Mums and a few trees. Lovely mosaic and I really liked the numbered key and explanation of your photos. Thanks for visiting my Jack In The Basket post!
ReplyDeleteAutumn dreams indeed! Lovely color. Lady bug hanging in there!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mosaic! just love that little lady bug!
ReplyDeleteThe leaves on the trees in Okla. are just now starting to turn. We won't reach peakness for another two weeks or so.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty, nice to see a ladybug still hanging about.
ReplyDeleteHi Vee!! Oh, my what gorgeous Fallness of color! I wish we could experience the color change of leaves here. We're actually going on a Fall Leave Cruise leaving this Friday!! I'm so hoping the leaves will stay on the trees for us.
ReplyDeleteThanks for much for popping in to see me.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
The fall colors are just beautiful. By the Jersey Shore, the trees are just starting to turn.
ReplyDeleteThis mosaic turned out really well! The colours are perfect for the season!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful mosaic Vee. I love the ladybug....
ReplyDeleteOur leaves are peaking about now in the mid elevations. The higher have lost their leaves. I love fall.
Hugs,
Penny
Beautiful Fall mosaic! I love the colors...Fall is my favorite season.
ReplyDeleteYou've captured beautiful colours and textures of autumn.
ReplyDeleteYour mosaic is simply, "lovely"!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE, LOVE this season too. I guess it's from growing up in New England and always looking forward to the Fall colors, cooler days, and pumpkins.
Having a wonderful mild Fall here in Montana, frosty mornings, but sunny warm days...I'm in heaven!
I can almost smell the crisp sweet smell of those leaves.....
ReplyDeleteI hope today is the beginning of a sweet week for you, friend.

I'm right there with on on loving autumn. The weather is perfectly cool and there's no humidity! Your mosaic is wonderful:)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day!

Sorry you're having problems with your computer and I'm so glad part of the "sporatic" time was given so we could enjoy your terrific mosaic! Love fall and love these photos! Great post..
ReplyDeleteI love the color, and texture in your mosaic! Autumn is beautiful if I can only focus on all the colors it brings..Otherwise, I'm dreading the harsh winter that following.
ReplyDeleteI can also understand your feelings with spam comments, and I have to chose moderation. The spammers that come to my blog are from nasty porn sites..It's disgusting!!!
Softly pretty glimpses, of Autumn...
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the computer woes. Wondering just what went wrong? Would think the storm "took something out." But if so, if "the something" was fixed, all would be fixed.
But if the fix is only sporadic... Hmmmmm.... Interesting....
Love this gorgeous mosaic!!! That cute ladybug is great!!!
ReplyDeleteThe autumn colors are so beautiful! The artist is always so apparent in all you do.

ReplyDeleteIt's bizarre. I've been trying to get on since 7:05 this morning and it's now 9:50. It could "go" at any time. Something must be loose. That's all I can think. Anyway, I spend a lot of time looking at this modem and wondering when the lights will go out or when the online button will go to solid instead of blinking. All I know is that the online button must blink or the computer and the internet are not communicating. Still waiting for the technicians. I don't even dare to try to post today until they do.
Oh, Vee...I love these!! And, I see that you are a Northeastern gal? Might I ask how close you are to little old Vermont? Your words are sounding close to home ♥
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed how you put together your mosaic and the numbering, sharing....very nice :)
Beautiful Fall mosaic. We have a lot of Fall colors here but there are still green trees about yet too!
ReplyDeleteComputer woes and all...you managed to get together a beautiful mosaic of autumn!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mosaic. So glad you made it for us to enjoy..:)
ReplyDeletexo, bj
Lovely mosaic, and the colors are just highlighting the beautiful autumn!
ReplyDeleteThat. .is a beautiful fall mosaic.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely mosaic, Vee. That little ladybug is such a sweet addition. I am going to be keeping my eyes out for "ground bouquets". I don't think I've been paying enough attention to how the leaves fall.
ReplyDeleteHope you computer problems are soon gone for good.
very pretty photos. lady bugs are so sweet when they are not in your house!
ReplyDeleteHi, Vee! I love your fall mosaic...such nice rich fall colors. I don't think we'll have good color this year in MO, darn it. I am seeing a lot of those pesky beatles arriving now and how they find their way into my house, I'll never know!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day,
Cheryl
great mosaic to show off the colors of autumn!
ReplyDeleteSo very beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteVery creative mosaic.
ReplyDeleteI think you must have the most beautiful autumn of anyone. Your colors are just amazing!
ReplyDeleteHopefully your computer will be fixed to your liking soon!
Jen
Hello Sweet Friends ... looks like you are all but jumping into a pile of leaves! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLovely autumn colours Vee!
ReplyDeleteLovely mosaic, Vee! Our leaves are just beginning to turn so we are not as far into the season as you. You have done a great job photographing this beautiful time of year!
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this post Vee? Love your mosaic!
ReplyDeleteOh what a pretty mosaic! I love the little ladybug. Haven't seen many here this year. A few years back we were going through a mass hatching... Thanks for sharing your beautiful fall images, Vee! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat collage Vee. Maybe you were doing too much blogging but hope you don't stay away too long.
