Color Inspiration – Mother Nature’s Magic Carpet

Fall, or “leaf season” as well call it around here, is my favorite time of year to lace up my boots, pack a peanut butter sandwich and gain some elevation.

Once I’m up high, the valleys and mountains roll out before me as if covered by a magic carpet. The splendid foliage is Mother Nature’s last hurrah before shedding her bright silks and settling in for the grey-blue winter.

I often find that fall colors are the most vibrant when the cloud cover is low and it’s misty, like the day these pictures were taken. Walking through the mountain landscape in October is truly like living in a paintbox!
