Three Muses ~ Turquoise

The Three Musses theme this week is turquoise.

I had been working on a piece without a reason ... and this week's theme gave me a perfect outlet!

With the busy work and travel of summer coming to an end and the beginning of autumn

I plan to again participate a little more fully in the Three Muses, an endeavor I enjoy!

My many thanks to Ann, Marie and Bev who are the inspiration and hosts behind the Three Muses!

Mandarin Orange Monday #9 ~ Fall is Approaching

Fall is approaching and I have just spent most of the morning

cutting back the faded blooms of summer.

Marigolds though, in their perky oranges and yellows, don't fade in fall...

they become even more spectacular!

Your Sunday Best #34 ~ Fall is in the Air

We went from a week of temperatures in the high 80's and low 90's,

to the past few days in the low 60's with nighttime temperatures in the mid 40's...

Fall is definitely in the air!
