Pale October

Now that I've finally let go of September, it's time to say hello to my first official fall!

Though autumn is known for its bright and fiery palette, I welcomed the start of the season with uncharacteristically muted hues. 


When I spotted this bouquet of pale, almost dusty lavender roses at the corner bloemenwinkel (flower shop), I simply couldn't resist. I've never seen roses this shade before.


Flowers are one of the things I really love about living in Holland. On days that are just totally bleargh, they are a small, but very welcome reminder that here, something new, interesting and different is always—sometimes literally—just around the corner.
