Whether you're traveling North, East, or even into the middle West in the Fall, nature's scenery is gorgeous, even iconic. BUT, there is an ample supply of gorgeous kits out there for Fall weather, activities, and leaf peeping. I'm thinking more of those millions of us who live and/or travel especially to the East Coast or to the South, there is almost as much history to be seen as there is God's glorious colors. But for all the trips we have taken, I've only ever seen a very small sprinkling of kits that would fit such an adventure.
I wasn't as brilliant as some of these other ladies to pull a pallette... so let me paint it with my words. First, what I'm NOT proposing: I'm not picturing what we quite frequently see for fall; instead, I'd love a kit that would be a beautiful COMPLEMENT to fall colors--which speak for themselves. This would be a canvas for those colors to shine. As for the historical side of this notion, I'm also not proposing the traditional red, white and blue, though I do imagine a kit that might be used for a more patriotic adventure, an anytime trip to historical sites, or even the upcoming 4th of July.
What I AM picturing is deep red, russet, navy blue, a brown, shades of gray, with some gold and cream in the mixture. Fall kits often have amazing fall colors--but so do my photos! Using shades of blues and grays would create an amazing backdrop to the colors already painted on the hillsides, and would also be well suited to the historical stops along the way.
Thanks for challenging me to dig deeper. Maybe the closest kit you have, colorwise, is Confessions, with it's grays, navy and red. This pallette is as close as I could find. I picture grays, as in the uniforms on Confederate soldiers, the deeper navy of the Northern uniforms, gold the glint of their guns shining in the sunlight, and red, as deep and rich as the blood shed on the battlefield of Gettysburg.
As for style, more nostalgic, touching ever so slightly on vintage, even to grunge. The warmer side of this pallette would find photos of fall, or even rich summer green scenery virtually popping off the page!
