It’s no secret that I like purple (the color of the crown chakra).
But lately I’ve been seeing red everywhere (the color of the root chakra). It is truly striking.
I’m at the front of the class showing scenes from our yard.

That close-up of the red leaf is incredible. I love autumn. It must be particular spectacular with the mountains.
How beautiful!What vibrant reds – you have a lovely yard. I always say I love it when the leaves turn and then a few months later it seems I am saying I love it when things get green and budding again . . .Just like all the colors I guess!
The close-up was my favorite too! Arbor-red-um feels very peaceful.
I love the reds of fall! During the cold months I am drawn so much more to red and I found last night that almost all of my winter clothes have red in them somewhere! I guess it warms my mood a bit during the gloomy times. Thanks for a great show and tell. Thos pictures are beautiful!
PS – sparkly kids, you made me laugh! I wouldn’t have any idea where you got that word from . . .Thanks for the visit!

Ooooo – I love red too. Does that mean we are rooted…or needing rooting? I just started reiki yoga and I’m still internalizing the chakras!Emma’s bush turns red every fall. I just marvel at the color!
wow, I love all those red autumnal colours. It’s pretty much the only reason that I have a Japanese Maple in the garden!
Oooh, I miss the changing colors and crisp weather! Love your reds!
Ooooh. Those are pretty!! Nice to have all that in your yard.
Pretty 🙂 I really liked the close up of the red leaf. I don’t know why exactly, but it really struck me.
Amazing!

pretty!Washington, the evergreen state, doesnt lend much in the way of pretty fall colors like other parts of the US but i just LOVE the smell of fall, so i tend to take more walks around this time of year anyway. I should take some pretty pictures, too.Kelly Turnerhttp://www.groundedfitness.com

What absolutely amazing colors. It is all so beautiful.
Beautiful, Lori! Thanks for sharing – we don’t get much in the way of reds and oranges up here in the fall, and I miss it from my time living places where there really were fall colours.
