Sugar Maple Tree - Fall Foliage Splendour

The autumn foliage of sugar maple trees is a wonderful sight with bright yellows and brilliant oranges and reds.  Boy, I love this time of year.  This is the sugar maple in our backyard and it puts on a pretty good show for us.  It's around 70 years old and has been struggling these past few years as the root system was damaged from road construction in the area.  But, it's hanging in there giving us shade in the summer and beautiful colour in the fall.

Pink and Orange Colour Combination

It's probably not often thought of as a colour combination that works, but I absolutely love the colour combination of pink and orange.  I think it's a stunning combination, a bit bold, cheerful, reminds me of summer, a mood booster - and colour does affect your mood.  If you mixed the two colours together you would get pink.....and I love pink too.  I look to nature to find colour pallettes to work with and sometimes I just have to open my back door.  These are the fall berries of Euonymus fortunei.  A happy bit of colour in my fall garden.

Copper and Blue Glass Bead Dangle Earrings

I've been playing with copper again and made these pretties.  There are a number of shades of blue that work well with copper and this is one of them.  In going through my bead stash I came across these blue glass lentil shape beads - there were two, so of course I made earrings.  I'll be listing them in our Etsy shop in the new year.
