LOST: ONE ART MOJO
If found, please return to Kirsty at Up All Night Again.

Sorry for the lack of posting folks, I've been down with a virus for the last few weeks. Needless to say, there hasn't been a shred of art going on. I always know when I've got something else on top of rather my usual Chronic Fatigue because I stop wanting to make art altogether. With this bug I didn't even want to potter around on the internet much, which is almost unheard off! Instead I've mostly been reading or knitting when I've not been in bed.

Thankfully I'm starting to feel a bit better and I hope to be back to my regular posting schedule within the next few days. In the meantime here are some autumnal photos to tide you over.

I am always surprised by how red bramble stems can be.

I shot a whole load of this spider web. I was shooting directly into the sun and this is my favourite because it has just the right amount of glare.

The late afternoon sun made this tree glow with colour

This wasn't a set up shot; I just spotted this fallen leaf on the bonnet of a car perfectly framed within the dark reflection of the tree above.

Does everyone call horse chestnuts fruit 'conkers' or is that just a British thing? They are one of the ultimate harbingers of autumn for me.

The late afternoon sun looked incredible through our very grimy windows - sometimes muck and poor house-keeping is just so pretty!

How apt, just before I posted this, my itunes started playing the Lucinda Williams track, I Lost It, which has the following lyrics:

I think I lost it
Let me know if you come across it
Let me know if I let it fall
Along a back road somewhere
Money can't replace it
No memory can erase it
And I know I'm never gonna find
Another one to compare

Let's hope that art mojo is making it's way home because although I love reading, knitting and the wasting far too much time on the internet, I certainly won't find another obsession that annoys, infuriates and fulfils me in the way that my work does!
