I have been playing with some Autumny (is that a word?) things. I seem to have an accidental nature table, I just have to pick up a beautiful leaf or seed head. Do you do that?
Anyway my collection reminds me of the nature table at playgroup and early school years… I liked the variety of stuff on the table, carefully collected leaves, acorns, pine cones, the odd twig, bits of grass, a beautiful chestnut, Postman Pat , Noddy, (that was our contribution!) My fault entirely. I was talking about Autumn colours, showing my boy the golds and yellows, reds and browns on the trees around us. He told ‘Mrs Malone’ our playgroup leader, that of course Noddy’s car was suitable because it was yellow. Postman Pat? Well if Ben had brought Noddy why shouldn’t Nick bring Postman Pat.

I couldn’t resist another collage!
Isn’t brown a beautiful rich colour?

And because it is the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the year two thousand and eleven I have eleven pictures in my collage and I will post this at eleven o’clock this evening.

I put my collage together in Collage It for mac. http://www.collageitfree.com

There are some fabulous Autumn Brown photos over here this week

I am linking to this weeks Shades of Autumn over at Project Alicia with my favourite colour, Purple. I collected lots of leaves that looked purple on the ground but turned out to be more red when I saw the pictures on my screen. There is plenty of purple around my desk though, but I think it has all made an appearance here before. The dark leaves of my Heuchera Purple Petticoats are my favourite from the garden, I think they look so pretty with the rain drops and sun on them.

There are so many beautiful purple photo’s over here this week.
