Walk With Me - Weeds and Seeds


A perfect autumn day, bright & crisp. Let's stroll around the WillOaks Farm!


Milkweed fluff is everywhere, like flying fairies.


The "bones" of the plants are easy to see this time of year.


The seeds for next year are unmistakable.
Weeds or wild flowers? It just depends of where and how much!


It's magical how the afternoon light plays on the delicate natural forms.


Most of the color of summer has faded away, leaving neutral textures.


Except in a few cases where very unexpected color pops into view!


A new treasury really captures the season for me:

Au Naturelle...creamy taupe with hint of caramel
Please click and visit this lovely collection, curated by NestHavenStudio, who curates many lovely treasuries, listed on her page.

Isn't is sort of uncanny how these colors and textures echo the weeds and seeds we just looked at on our autumn walk? The changing seasons can be a very real source of artistic inspiration.

I think this should be on the Etsy Front page so I'm asking my blog visitors to PLEASE click here to visit this treasury--and comment if you like! It's a numbers game to get to the Etsy front page these days, because although the curators may put very beautiful and worthy collections together, unless they can motivate viewers to visit, these collections barely get seen...while some pretty awful ones, who get the tweets and the visits even without much artistic merit, get to the front page of the web site.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful Friday!!

Gorgeous photos, thanks for the stroll around Will Oaks Farm. I have to agree with Amy Lilly designs, that first one is stunning.

Wow, those are absolutely amazing photos! LOVE! We went camping/ hiking this past weekend and I kept wanting to take photos of the milkweeds, but never could quite get a good shot.

Found you on Aquariann's Autumn Blog Hop...I have a love for the weeds (even have a dandelion weed faerie tattoo), and this was a beautiful post that captures the wonderful sights so many people just overlook. Thanks!
