I have always identified with autumn colors. My eyes are brown and green, flecked with gold. My hair is a sort of light brown with golden strands that catch the sunlight. I was a true blonde until my late teens when I began to shun the California sun for indoor time with my studies. My sister nicknamed me “Golden Girl”. I have never colored my hair and have only one gray one (which I pluck when it gets more than an inch long!). I love to stroll the green spaces where I live, and I get a little uneasy in a plane when all I see below are dusty expanses. Green is my go-to color. My mother never liked green and made pronouncements about why it was “bad” for a kitchen, for clothing, for just about everything except plants. I grew up revering my parents’ opinions, and learning to develop my own style is something I’ve come into rather late, I think. Sorry, Mom. I WILL wear green and decorate my indoor space with it liberally! This picture reflects a wonderful tapestry of fall colors, with a blue sky for background and a towering church which seems like it is being overtaken by vegetation. This is also me: my monumental Christianity is slowly being eclipsed and colored by a more prominent display of natural life. This is the hue of me:

What colour is smug! Thats what I want to know….
I can’t take credit….it’s my DNA.
Can you bottle a pint and forward it immediately?

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way….or I might be rich!

real pretty. Great composition, Scilla
Thanks, Luke!
We live in Northern California and while some areas have some dramatic changes with the season, ours are pretty subtle. I miss the visual and sensual pleasure of an East Coast fall and winter. This is a striking photo and as Luke indicated, the composition is perfect. Bravo!
Thank you!
