Nu er det blevet så køligt om nætterne, at vildvinen bliver smukt rød. Den og så den importeerede japanske ahorn er så vidt jeg ved de eneste træer, der får røde blade. Den inspirerede mig til at lave en af Pias paletter, det er da vist alt for længe siden sidst.
Det er nogle højtråbende farver, og jeg gad nok vide om de bliver til andet end en farveprøve, men jeg må indrømme at jeg har en svaghed for den slags kontrastfylde farvekombinationer. .
Leaves in Denmark normally turn golden, yellow or brown in Autumn, only not vine and japanese maple. And the autumn red leaves of this common vine, I shot while shopping yesterday, inspired me to one of Pia's palettes.
The colours are loud, almost garish, and I wonder if they'll ever get a life outside of this swatch. But I have a penchant for vivd, clashing colour combos.

Svampe og dyr i skoven -- Mushrooms and animals

- - - -
We did not gather many mushrooms, at least from a culinary wiev, but we saw lots of funny ones. An Elfin saddle, groves of smll mushrooms on slender stalks, bleeding mushrooms, miniature mushrooms and old, dry giants. We picked some Magpie Mushrooms and hope they make ink as their cousins Ink caps - I secretly doubt it, but time will tell. We also took home some of the bleeding ones to see if the "blood" could be used for ink as well. A small portion of Sulphur tuft is foreseen to end up in the dye pot, dyeing a yellowish green, but maybe we'll try making ink instead.
Dust if You Must
Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better
To paint a picture, or write a letter,
Bake a cake, or plant a seed;
Ponder the difference between want and need?
Dust if you must, but there's not much time,
With rivers to swim, and mountains to climb;
Music to hear, and books to read;
Friends to cherish, and life to lead.
...
For at læse resten af dette lærerige og muntre digt, må I besøge Pia på Colour Cottage, og glem ikke at nyde hendes billder, når I nu er der.
Og nu tager jeg en tur i skoven og plukker svampe med Ugleungerne.
To read the last two stanzas of this poem, go and visit Pia in her Colour Cottage and don't forget to enjoy her photos and artwork while you're there.
And now I'm off to the woods looking for mushrooms with the Owlets.

Sæbe og svampe -- Soap and Mushrooms
Uglemor har travlt med at sælge sæbe på markeder i omegnen. Derfro bliver det ikke til så meget blogging, som det kunne ønskes. Men altså, der foregår - naturligvis - også andet end markeder, så her er endnu et par billeder fra Uglebo og omegn.

MotherOwl is busy selling soap on Farmers Markets. For this reason my blogging is suffering. Of course other thing than markets happen in the Owlery, and some pictures can show a bit of what we have been up to.
