Monday through Friday, after stopping at my favorite Dunkin’ Donuts, I take a quick walk in order to pick my little 4 year old friend up from school. He is a very inquisitive, interesting, and curious fella who points out a lot of what I photograph when we’re together. Most of the time he wants to be in the picture. Sometimes, not. I told him I needed ‘browns’ and we gathered these photos as a team. I hope you enjoy our collaborated gallery of browns.
Please do stop over at Ailsa’s to take in a little more of the rich, beautiful browns she’s gathered from other bloggers. Just click right here.
Thanks for the visit and stop on back.
Dear Bliary 
I love that! I’ve been out with my grandson and told him what we needed, it’s a great way to spend time together and make them more aware of their surroundings. And y’all did a good job too!
Thanks. It’s always fun ‘working’ with him. 😉
Appreciate it, Dawn.
Do you show him your posts?
He’s only interested in seeing the pix. I might read this one to him tomorrow and see what he says.
🙂
Love the browns. Is that a wolly bear caterpillar? Something about how much is brown and how much is black is supposed to predict the harshness of winter.
I’ll have to look that one up. Google! 😉
Thanks, Gen.
I just did! The more brown, the milder the winter. More black means a bad winter. Fun!
Ok. I’m thinking winter in the 70’s. Now that would please me. 😉
All these photos are great! Really different. You’ll have to take your little friend along next time there’s a theme, especially when you need things that are close to the ground!
And close to the ground he is! You’re absolutely right. A look at the world from his perspective. 😉
Thanks, Trish.
Well, I think that you and he made a great team, Gemma. Love the brown pics. 🙂
Thanks a bunch, ad. 😉
He’s an interesting kid.
Your teamwork gathered some excellent brown shots. The picture with all the leaves in it tempts one to jump in them.
He wants to but I tell him he can’t go in the street or on other people’s property. He’s pretty good about listening, as long as I’m alert! 😉
Always good to see through a child’s eye Gemma . Beautiful Browns .
I’m really loving your photos. You’re enjoying being creative with what you see and what you can do with your photography . It shows 🙂
Oh, poppy. I’m trying, but I’m so limited by my lack of observation and creativity. I am attempting to be more vigilant when I look at things, to see through and artist’s eyes. But I feel more like a cyclops. I’m only half way there. 🙂
Thanks for noticing the effort, though.
Oh Gemma you make me smile 🙂 cyclops indeed …
Having a camera .. oh and lucky you a little one in tow does make one see things in greater perspective .. Let’s both keep it up 😉
😉
Of course!
Absolutely gorgeous browns and shots Gemma! Looks like you and your little friend had lots of fun. Great choices hon. 😀 *hugs*
Thanks, sweetie. Hope you’re feeling better. 🙂
Getting better by the day. Just struggling to sleep but that will also get better. Thanks for caring hon. 😀 *hugs*
Not so sure about the creepy creature- at a distance, I suppose 🙂
Just 9 days to this deadline, Gem. It’s international. Take part if you want (or can find time 🙂 ) http://restlessjo.wordpress.com/2013/10/22/travelling-my-way/
Jo, my limited travels, well, limit me. Your photos are gorgeous!
Thanks for the invite. 😉
great teamwork. Growing up in the 50’s we always checked out the wholly caterpillars for the winter forecast.
Here I am learning new things again. You and my friend Gen have turned me on to a more accurate meteorologist than all the news stations combined! 😉
Great team work! These are wonderful, beautiful presentation for the brown. Thanks to your little 4 year old friend too 🙂
You’re welcome from the little one, and thanks for commenting, Amy. 🙂
I like the pics, Gem – especially the centre one in the lower row, that’s colourful and quite mysterious. And the one right of it too, I like the lighting, and the orientation is striking. A
Thank you so much, oh great mentor. I do appreciate your comments but especially your compliments. ATP with hugs
Love these – especially the wooly booly!
He’s so Sam the Sham, isn’t he? 😀
Thanks, Jen.
Love your brown collaboration, Gemma 🙂
Thanks, Marianne. 🙂
I love Earth tone colors. Beautiful , serene.
Many thanks, IT.
