Autumn Pears in Still Life

*

*

Hello my friends...I hope you're having a fabulous day!

*

A few days ago, we had a beautiful, sunny autumn day here in Colorful Colorado. The sun was streaming in through my dining room so beautifully that I grabbed my camera to take a few photos.

*

As many of you know, my little french country dining room is red. At a certain time of the day when the sun shines into the room...the red walls just become the most beautiful...brilliant...shade of red that I've ever seen! They certainly do make a stunning backdrop for any photos that I take.

*

Last week I shared a few photos of a trio of pumpkins that I shot in the dining room...called "Pumpkins in Still Life".  If you would like to see that post...just click HERE.  After I finished playing with the pumpkins, I decided to do a "still life" photo shoot of a trio of autumn pears.  I hope that you enjoy!

"Autumn Pears in Still Life"

Autumn 2011 in my French Country Dining Room.

A simple "still life" photo of a trio of autumn pears on a white ironstone platter.  A few embroidered napkins and an old nickle plated dinner knife join in to make an autumn still life.

I have enjoyed using my dining room table centerpiece as a back drop for the "still life" photos.  It makes for a pretty picture...I think.  The old wooden dough trough is filled with autumn's bounty...pears, grapes, pomegranites, a mix of nuts, deer antlers, a long pheasant feather, a tall masonary candleholder with an earthy colored pillar candle, and a pheasant.

Ahhh autumn...my favorite time of the year!

I love this white ironstone platter.  Love the pretty border of embossed fruit and the handles that are cut into the plate.  This pretty platter usually hangs on the dining room wall.  Today, it serves as a platter for the autumn pears.

A few golden colored napkins with a white embroidered motif...along with an old nickle plated knife join in to complete this "still life of autumn pears".
