As I find myself, in these late autumn days, somewhat manually challenged, I have been looking out for shortcuts, work-arounds and ditch-its wherever I go. That would be the bathroom, bedroom and kitchen and not much further afield, unless of course I am sitting motionless in a moving car.

Bones need time to heal and I am trying to stay a little bit still.

To that end, and as QWERTY is no longer my friend, the blog gets the same treatment. So I have been out and about on the internet looking for autumnal art. In amongst all the more obvious flaming trees and fiery redheads I found this beautiful still life by Sevillano artist Jesús Fernández Romero.

I just want to reach in and top-up that glass. Oh, and nick a grape while I am at it. Erm, with that said, you might want to go elsewhere for your serious art appreciation needs. Seriously. I may sound like an expert, but I am not. Really.

And how could I not include this surreal image by Chilean photographer Simon Pais-Thomas as an homage to Older Mum in a Muddle who is hosting the #oneweek meme celebrating autumn all this week. Pop over there and you will instantly understand why this made me think of her.

    Loved this post! The art is fabulous – I really like the second one – made me laugh that it made you think of me. I hope you are healing well and not straining yourself too much on the keyboard! I want some grapes! Why am I thinking that? X.

      Isn’t it? Suspect if you nicked the pomegranate that the composition would be compromised… but, as I say, I am no expert. :)

    I can see why that photo made you think of Older Mum – it’s the dancing pumps! I can’t believe how real the still-life looks – it’s beautiful.

    I love your choice of pictures. The bottom one reminds me of Older Mum too! Must be those converse like boots.
