Mosaic

Though at first sight, things may seem loud and chaotic, I'd do well to take the opportunity to linger just for a bit. Then, I'd see the colours and beauty in the chaos. And maybe I'd want to linger a little while longer to look closer and see the individual pieces and discover that I was actually one of them.

Stacks of Colour

If I can't have these in my own cupboards I'll do the next best thing and have photos of them, maybe on my kitchen walls. I love the eclectic mix of colours in these dishes. The "odd one out" third from the bottom is just the right spot of white in the stack of colour. These are interesting and exciting. The contrasting and complimentary colours remind me of the different spices and flavours found in cooking.

True Colours

Today feels like autumn, as I guess it should, seeing as it has been autumn for weeks now. Here in the prairies we've been blessed with above normal temperatures for the summer and well into these first weeks of fall. Only now are we beginning to feel the chill in the air. I thought it would all seem so sudden, once autumn really showed her true colours, but it doesn't feel sudden at all. It just feels normal, like it is simply time to get on with the season we are in.

Happy Autumn.
