Mosaic Monday: Random Natirar







Somehow, the day got away from me, and I'm scrambling to put up a Mosaic Monday post...  :)

Here are some images from our favorite park, Natirar, taken a few weeks ago.  Someday, I will stop on the road and take a pull back photo of this field -- it is so beautifully curving, and a real joy to see. The last of the asters were in bloom when we visited, and lots of pretty seed heads from goldenrod and milk weed.  I love autumn.  :)

Just a note:  I will be publishing a special post on November 2nd.  My Facebook group, Colors of 2013 with Eva Ricci Studio, has asked me to host our photos from the month of October.  So please do stop by on Saturday, and see all the beautiful images celebrating "orange" from around the world.  :)

Mosaic Monday: Morven









Last month, my friend Toni and I visited Morven, a beautiful eighteenth-century home and former governor's mansion in Princeton, New Jersey.  It is currently a wonderful museum and art gallery.  Here are a few photos from our visit.  In the garden, they were having an exhibition of unusual trellises.  You can see one in the photo directly above.  What I loved best about the garden, though, was the beautiful brick wall.  I couldn't help thinking what a gorgeous backdrop it would make for portraits.  In fact, when we were leaving in the afternoon, a wedding magazine was setting up for a photoshoot in the front of the museum.  I couldn't help snapping a few quick shots.  Don't you love the table they placed in front of the door?  They also decorated the wisteria vine on the front porch (no longer blooming) with dried hydrangea.  How pretty!  I wish I knew what magazine it was -- I would love to see the finished product.  :)

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!  :)

Mosaic Monday: Pink






I've got some more images from White Flower Farm this week.  It seems such a long time since we were there...  the last week in August.  Where did September go?  The trees have started changing here in New Jersey.  Next week I may have some autumn colors for you.  ;)
