I spent this past Sunday morning outdoors, foraging for relaxation and a few photos to work with for The Studio | Online prompt. Foraging is good for the heart, mind, and soul wouldn’t you agree? I’m so lucky that I can walk out the door and into a natural reserve where there is no shortage of inspiration. I need it like I need air to breath.
It goes without saying I’m smitten with succulents, leaves, and rustic wooden backgrounds. And there’s nothing I love more than a quirky succulent … there’s just something so fun about them. I watch as they sprout up and spray outward, reaching for the sun (and probably more space.) I rescued these two from my Upcycled Toolbox Planter which had become extremely crowded over the summer.
I’m also a lover of repetition … leaves, leaves, and more leaves …

… so perfectly imperfect … I was shooting outdoors so I didn’t use studio lighting as did Kim in her lesson, instead I used kk_SoftLightMoreLeft to slightly enhance the natural light coming from the left …

That pot of succulents on the top shelf is so funny; it’s been struggling all summer and I love it to pieces!
Hello, your images of the succulents are pretty, I like the earthy colors! Happy Autumn!

Wonderful photos as ever Barb and I love how the colours of the dried leaves match the succulents. Perfect… :-)
