a lush palette

i love the deeply saturated earthy palette of late autumn after a rain (or in our case, an early snow). imagine a ballroom or a library full of upholstered chairs, in lush velvet, each one in the color of one of these leaves. each one a very slight variation on the other. each one uniquely beautiful. each one being part of whole that is bigger then the sum of its parts.
