The Sweetie and I took a lovely walk through the Irvington neighborhood in Portland today. Ostensibly, it was so that I could get . . . er, hunt out shots of autumn leaves to add to my copyright-free collage materials file . . . but, truth be told, we both needed the exercise! And, despite forecasts of rain (Rain? in Portland? Never!) it was a clear, sunny day . . .
The Sweetie also helped me capture a variety of actual leaves, which I have corralled here in my scanner:
No leaves were harmed in the making of this post. All leaves will be released back into the wild.
i've been pressing leaves like crazy this season. also thought you'd like to see the work of mulysa, a local portland artist who makes "Flower Girl Collages":
