Inspiration: Searching for Beautiful Decay

Fall has finally come officially and I am feeling like Margaret in Gerald Manly
Hopkins poem.  I am "grieving the unleaving," the loss of summer, the bright greens,
blues, reds and the subtle pastels, the new buds, the emerging weeds and growing
grasses.  So on a very foggy cool morning a few days ago I set out in 
search of what I like to call Beautiful Decay.  What follows is a photo essay of
what I found. 






 

 
 
 

 
 
 

  



When I returned home with very wet shoes and my phone filled with pictures, I was 
feeling much better about the changing season and inspired to get into my studio
and create. I hope you have been inspired too.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  See you next month when I will share with you some 
art beads inspired by my Beautiful Decay photos.
