This week for the Shades of Autumn Challenge the color is 'brown". Although probably not my favorite color, it does have it's place amongst the golds, reds, oranges, and purples. It is the color of dirt, and we wouldn't have those other brilliant leaf colors without "brown dirt". Good rich, dark brown dirt. Oh how I long for that in my garden. Our "dirt" is really a pitiful shade of clay and rocks. For me to have good dirt, I have to buy it. But again, I digress. This week I did try to come up with some "brown" images, so here goes.......
One of our local garden centers has a pen full of ducks and this one happens to be brown.....
Those prickly weeds that stick to Toby on our walks.....
And Toby, who just happens to be brown, standing next to a brown tree, on top of brown dirt.....
A little vase filled with brown things.......
Dried hydrangeas that I snip and bring in to decorate the Christmas Tree.....
I promise you these leaves were brown, I just added a little more brown tone to them.....
Linking up with........
"Someone once threw me a small, brown, hairy kiwi fruit, and I threw a wastebasket over it until it was dead." ~ Erma Bombeck
The above quote really doesn't have much to do with this post except for the word "brown"....and I thought it was funny.
Until next time......
