...because of the quaking Aspens turning in abundance this time of year, shimmering so beautifully, like golden coins. Whenever I see them, I know that snow is not too far behind. Oftentimes, we're lucky enough to witness the huge expanse of the Rockies snow-capped on a glorious Autumnal day against a bright big blue sky, making for that perfect backdrop to an outrageous display of golden hue. In fact, I've even been lucky enough to occasionally see Aspen leaves fall during a light snowfall whilst up in the high country. It's can be quite surreal watching that flutter of Aspen leaves floating down among feathers from heaven... and all while still relatively warm too, I might add! :)

This is beautiful MMm, I love the movement of the leaves about the month of September!
ReplyDeleteHee. Thanks Christine. You rock!
DeleteYour reason for loving September sounds heavenly. Love the gradation of the blue. All round a very elegant and yet clever illustration.
ReplyDeleteTher's alot I don;t like about Colorado (vs. England) but that wouldbe one of them that I do enjoy for certain. :) Thank you, Linda.
DeleteI love those golden leaves & the hues of blue. It all makes for a very fresh picture for me :0) Mo
ReplyDeletePhew! Made it! Had a bit of a panic when I realised the time for this theme was about up & I was going to break my consitency of taking part - eek - but luckily I knew I still had a birthday card to make. Yay me! What's next I wonder :o))
ReplyDeleteAnd so glad you did too, TT. Not sure my comment went up as I forget the un and pw for using flicker. So, just to say, I can't believe you actually made that card! Wow! Way to go!
DeleteOnce in my life, many years ago, we were in Colorado, and I saw what you're talking about....and I'll never forget it...gold glittering and flakes falling. Magnificent. You captured the feeling. Nice! Thanks for you sweet comments on my watercolors.
ReplyDeleteYou saw it too? Aw. Wish you could come here and I'd take you guys up to Trailridge and maybe wed see it again. :)
DeleteI also like leave falling in September, although on my side of the world, it is not a signal for snow. sweet drawing.
ReplyDeletesadly, no entry from me as I somehow forgot about the time but I'm glad to see other entries.
hope you have a sweet day.
You know, Lissa? I actually thought of your art style whilst drawing this then colouring it. Reminds me of your stuff, although albeit not nearly as decorative or detailed! :)
DeleteWell, never mind about not making it in this time around, I do hope you get to join us next time around.
Another last minute person here. LOVE quaking Aspens!! Almost didn't make it. Will visit others ASAP
