Mother Nature was busy showing off her beautiful colours in High Park today. Which is where I spent the afternoon taking over 200 photographs of leaves. The colour combinations were spectacular. Below are 3 different colour palettes inspired by Mother Nature herself.

If you’re like me and love trees please follow my ‘I ♥ trees’ pinboard on Pinterest – a virtual pinboard that allows you to organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web.

Beauty never grows old
“Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.” ― Franz Kafka (1883 – 1924)
