Dan has often remarked that the early buds of spring are a peek at the fall colors. Today I’m seeing eager green and deep red, though I know there will be pale orange too soon.
I took a walk by myself today with a camera, wearing a face mask and stepping across the road to avoid neighbors. I was trying to photograph that deep red color when I saw it. Sometimes it was more of a purple.
I don’t usually combine red and pink, though I love all the gradients of other colors.
I was pleased with these mosses, I hadn’t noticed how bright the red orange was in the front when I took the photo, it’s possible my monitor is different than the real thing though.
when I was a girl, I always colored tree trunks brown, but they are often grey, or taupe
Was it cheating to include garden sprouts too?
The rhubarb is a different red than the tree buds.
This is one of the first bees I’ve seen!
I gotta get my peony hoops up soon.
dunno what this is, but there is that red.
Now, do any of these colors want to turn up in colorwork knitwear? I dunno that either.
