my secret garden

I look at the these rocks and I just love them. They remind me of my childhood, when I would jump and climb on anything. They really stand out with all the leaves on the ground, nice contrast. A splash of color, yes! I didn't run, jump or climb, I wonder if they are slippery.

Even in the fall, the beach is really beautiful. The beach grass is this amazing golden color when the sun shines. The day this pic was taken it was cloudy so the color isn't as vibrant in the pic. Lovin the rocks on the shoreline, I bet they create a nice break from roughing up edge of the shore. I need to try to paint this land/seascape it's so pretty. Oh yes...this is my next painting, I think I will use my usual gold leaf.
