The Treachery of Contrast

I've been really into fall florals this year.  It's a little darker and more unexpected than the traditional 'April showers bring May flowers' kind of floral.  I also like the fall palette background colors behind brighter blooms; makes for a nice, almost oxymoron mix.  And you can't really beat the beauty of nature, even in all its simplicity.
