Inspired by Shape and Texture

It was a beautiful morning.  The sun was shining.  Oscar the Golden Retriever wanted to play outside.  And I needed inspiration.  Again.

Fall is my favorite season and a fading fall garden is filled with non-floral beauty.


 Spores on stately ferns.

The sweetness of the last of the blackberries.


The smooth drupe of the Japanese Snowdrop tree and a sky of extraordinary blue.


 Amazing technicolor leaves.

 And Oscar the Golden Retriever. (I think he is looking for his favorite stick.)

What inspires you?
