Purple Deceiver
Hiking in early fall along the Blue Ridge Parkway is a perfect transition from summer to winter. The leaves are just beginning to turn and have a touch of color, and I found quite by accident that if you are observant, there are also colorful mushrooms.
While I named this painting “Purple Deceiver,” it probably isn’t that variety of mushroom but rather a more common variety. But the wisp of purple that attracted me with the surrounding vegetation made me smile on my last short hike of the day. Sometimes looking down is a good thing. We don't miss the small, important things along the path.
