The months of strong, bright colors have faded away. This is the time before the grey days. Although the colors are muted the light is not. In the woods, now leafless, the shadows draw long dark lines across my path and sketch patterns, not unlike pen and ink drawings, on the rocks and trees. The light in the afternoon blinds me. I consider wearing a hat to shade my eyes.
I see the colors I’m spinning and I wonder which came first. Were my choices influenced by the season or do I see what has become familiar.
Helped by the strong light and shadow, texture becomes what color was.
What better inspiration for fiberly pursuits.

Beautiful photos, genuine observations…
“What better inspiration for fiberly pursuits”…I could not agree with you more.
That is so true about texture.
Wow……you were up and out early today! Beautiful pictures as always. As much as I love the brilliant fall colors, I love these neutral shades of pre winter as well 🙂
No wonder you make such nice things! Thanks for the lovely walk, just beautiful!
Nature is full of beauty even when it sleeps.
It’s hard to know where inspiration comes from. I do think the seasons affect us greatly, though.
Your yarns are so beautiful. It’s obvious why with such inspiration surrounding you.
