My Old Leaf, My New Earrings

One morning a few weeks ago, as I stumbled into my studio contemplating my day ahead, a beautiful red and green leaf was laying there waiting for me.

I knew instantly that my husband left it there for me, because this particular one was gorgeous and as a message to me that the summer would be over soon and fall is close behind. He knows only too well that I am not a fan of summer.

Anyway, the first thing that I needed to do that day was to photograph a new pair of earrings that I had made the day before.

It's always challenging to come up with a new set-up for a photograph, but that day, that leaf was just what I needed. Sometimes what you need is right in front of you, you just
have to recognize it.

I poked the earrings through the leaf and took these photos. Perfect!

Autumn

Autumn is my favorite season with summers in hot, humid Kentucky being my least favorite. I have often added autumn leaves to photos just because I like them! Your earrings really stand out in contrast to the fall colors. Beautiful!
