It was a perfect October day.
A great opportunity to go outdoors with a sketchbook and some paints.
Here is a glimpse of my outdoor studio.
From this spot I was able to catch
spots of color here and there.
The poison ivy on this tree always marks the beginning of color change.
The photo doesn't quite capture the brilliant crimson it turns.
We had such a wet September that made the mushrooms pop. This one was particularly large.
I was able to get a photo before hubby mowed it down.
There is nothing more blue than an October sky. Just a few wispy clouds were seen. By the end of the afternoon they were gone.
Gunny
and Kelsey both enjoyed the day.
Thank you all for stopping by and letting me share a perfect October day with you.
Would love to hear about yours! Hope you will share.
Hugs

Gorgeous captures, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed seeing your fall colors-we still have summer here happy new week
ReplyDeleteI liked your notes or poem with the daffodils - did you paint and write it outside on your table? Gunny and Kelsey looked so cute - I think they are enjoying the cooler weather before the bad weather comes. And it will, won't it? I did not know poison ivy was red. Kind of shocks me.
ReplyDeleteWonderful October sunshine! Love the dandelion sketch! And a great outdoor studio!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to be able to work outside like that in the sunshine. The pups look like they enjoy it as well
ReplyDeleteA perfect Autumn day, indeed, Debbie. Thanks for sharing your delightful photos and your outdoor work area, too. Enjoy every moment!
ReplyDeleteThat's true, the skies I've seen lately in October are so blue. What a nice art space you have outside for your art projects. I can see why you would like to sketch some of autumn's beauty. Your dogs look so happy and out of breath from roaming around. And please watch out for the poison ivy. Have a sweet October week, Debbie.
ReplyDeleteIt sure looks like a beautiful October day there. We have had clouds and a little rain the last two days. Can't complain though, every little bit helps with the drought. Gunny and Kelsey are both beautiful! I like their names.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and enjoyed your fall posting very much. October is a beautiful month with the bright, blue skies. Glad you showed us your outdoor work area.
ReplyDeleteLove the pups! They are so regal! Gorgeous dogs…
ReplyDeleteWe finally got some rain…but I lost a pink rose bush 😟

What a lovely way to spend an October day! 🍂 I love going out into nature with my camera, so I can imagine how much you enjoyed painting outdoors. And I'm glad you photographed that mushroom before your husband mowed it down! 😂 Such a beautiful time of year!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely photos of your October day. It looks very relaxing with time to appreciate the things around you. Part of my day was spent sketching some patrons of a coffee shop in Sayville and then relaxing in the sun by the beach for a while. I really enjoyed it! Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteHappy to see you sketching. It has been lovely this fall. We haven't had fall colors yet, but maybe soon. Still in the 90s in the afternoon. Sorry to not be around. Life you know.......
ReplyDeleteLove your outdoor studio--what a beautiful day to be outside. I just love your dogs, too. Looks like they are enjoying the beautiful day, too.
