Nature & Junk and Fall is Here ~ A Walk Around the Neighborhood


Assemblage





A ready made composition





Where does the shoe end and moss begin?




Eyelet




Cranberry season




The fungus abides




the contrasts of autumn




Love the crackle





tidepool of the woods




The seasons turn so quickly here in the northland, a glimpse of fall and then winter comes.
The woods redolent with rot and mold and fungus. Crimson blooming in cranberries, fireweed leaves and undergrowth. Yellow leaves gleaming against gray skies. The clouds have changed too.

  2. Even though it's hotter than hades, it feels like Fall here too. A lot of animals moving and getting their business done. Love that pipe and it's juicy metals bits.....xox Corrine

  3. Hi Kim, I keep waiting for that change, but it just hasn't hit yet! I will know it when I "feel" it. Probably a few weeks away still. I'm so looking forward to Fall!

  6. What gorgeous photos Kim! I love that "ready made composition", and the "tide pool" shot is very cool.

  7. This makes me long for Alaskan autumn. I went walking this morn as well, following a creek to an old farmstead thinking all the while"I wonder if Kim could make anything out of these old rusty pieces!" mostly old barrels and roofing, a few not so old bottles.
