Ya’ll know I love brown. My grandmother’s tea leaf pattern china with its brown and white scheme, all kinds of treenware (usually a shade of brown), and vintage linens (often with a bit of brown stain somewhere) bring brown into view everyday. Oh, and my brown cows stroll around in the breakfast room.
I like brown plants, too. I see beauty in the fading stage of a flower’s life as well as in the emerging beauty seen in spring. So this time of year brings even more brown into my camera lens.
Some recent photos celebrate the fading stage. Enjoy some brown!
My sewing basket has a brown collection in it, too. A long-term project at hand right now is one with brown irregular hexagons. I’m hand piecing them with a modified English Paper Piecing process…I remove the paper before stitching them together.
Some plants in my yard are confused. As I write this and share the glories of withering plants, I have three fresh-from-the-earth Queen Anne’s Lace plants scattered in the garden. One is blooming delightfully now; others are ready to bloom. It’s like they are reminding me that “green is beautiful, too.” Yes, it is!
I’ve written about the beauty of brown before. Type “brown” in the search box in the sidebar and you’ll find more.
Thank you for such a beautiful post, with such gorgeous photos! Thank you so for some reminders regarding brown. I posted about that and linked to your post.
Sincerely,
Nancy

And your post reminds me how I love brown and green together. I usually go for brown and blue, but…I’m inspired to search out some brown with green.
your photography is stunning … kudos!
I’ve worked on learning more about photography during Covid. It’s been a delight!
