Inspiring color and light...
The color of the light coming through the turned leaves is so beautiful...I had to take my camera on the walk with Alice today, it's breathtaking under those golden trees.
It was in the 70's today so I'm riding my bike to Lill Street for clay class tonight. Upon seeing my clay trucks, my friend Kate Strong suggested I make a semi that is a butter dish, I just may do that. I made a creamer to go with my sugar last week...
