colour palette ~ overcast...

I love this colour palette so much today! Of course you can't go wrong with rich mustard yellows and dark slate greys, such a perfect combination. But today it is exactly what Edinburgh looks like. The sky is completely overcast with rain clouds in that lovely soft grey. All the trees in our local park have bright yellow leaves while the ones that have already fallen are turning to shades of mustard and rich warm browns. Leaving the bare branches, that have been soaked over night with the rain, in shades of dark moody browns and slate greys.
Usually days like this can feel so depressing, with the grey-ness pressing in. But if you choose to look at it in a slightly different way there is so much inspiration and enjoyment to be had... :)

As it is Guy Fawkes night here in the UK today I shall wish you all a safe and fun one, and keep my fingers crossed that the rain stays away for some great fireworks displays!
