Just a few weeks ago we went for a drive in the country to see the fall foliage. And it was truly amazing this year. The colours were so vibrant and it lasted for a long time. As much as we were in awe of the colour display, we weren't quite as enamoured yesterday when we did our leaf raking. We've got it down to a science -- rake, shovel leaves into bag, compress leaves in bag, shovel in more, rake some more. More than ten bags later, we had cleared the ground of leaves. We put the bags out to the curb and went into the house. An hour later, the ground was again covered with leaves. Oy. I found muscles I had forgotten I have. Next weekend, we'll do some more, if they haven't been covered by that four letter word -- SNOW. Right now it's flurrying outside the window.
I am posting a photo of my FibreArt Toronto challenge piece from September -- Autumn. It was inspired by the rich rusty-red colours and the shape of the maple leaf. There are two leaves, one from organza and one from tulle. Overall, it came out well, I think.
