Even though I don&#8217;t like to see the hills turn brown, that time where the last vestiges of spring and the heat of summer collide is so beautiful in its contrast.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nameInner\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"nameInner\">\n<p>These earrings by <a href=\"http:\/\/maniguette.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sylvie Peraud<\/a> is just one such example. Greens turn to yellow as the plant&#8217;s energies are sapped, but when seen on a hill with the morning sun hitting it, it&#8217;s just radiant. I don&#8217;t know if Sylvie was thinking this when creating these, but it reminds me of the places I was running just a couple of weeks ago out here in Southern California.<\/div>\n<div class=\"nameInner\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nameInner\">\n<p>Writing about these lead me to Sylvie&#8217;s blog where she has some really stunning new work you just have to see as well. Jump on over <a href=\"http:\/\/maniguette.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">to her blog<\/a> and check out her wide range of work <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/maniguette78\/\" target=\"_blank\">on her Flickr pages<\/a>\u00a0when you take a creative recharge break today or this week.
