Falling in Love with Fall

Learning is always the best thing to do in life. To learn all about fall and the things associated with this time of year was informative and enjoyable. Fall can be romantic and poetic with the change of colours & with the first frost and falling leaves. The season is all about the display of colors in nature & about fruits like Plump Pumpkins, Red Berries, Nuts, Ornamental Gourds, Rosy Pomegranates, along with Apples, Pears, decorative coloured cabbage & pretty-frilled leaves. Other things include welcoming wreaths, sturdy baskets, potpourri, wooden trugs, pottery bowls jugs, pitchers & terracotta pots.Copper and brass add charm to the season. Colours most used in Fall include burnt orange, green, golds, browns, reds, pinks, rich mauves and so on.

This arrangement includes the colourful yellow Zucchini, red and yellow bell peppers, the plump pumpkin,...

Fall Dinner after Sunset

These are the days of early dark evenings with the fall of certain leaves . And some plants and trees display the delicate shades and deeper tones of the Autumnal palette too.  I was tempted to do a simple scape in our garden with the touch of fall colours. It was nice to see two pale yellow leaves on a plant and I felt like they were whispering .... pick us up for your shoot . They made my job easy whilst using them as the center piece and they gave a natural look of the season. While the sun was dropping down in the west, doing a scape in the garden created coziness and a sense of comfort & with the glowing candles and lanterns on the table, dinner was wonderful too.                          Our Friendly crow waiting and wanting to join the fall party.
