Everyone is driven or stirred by their senses. Yet there is always one sense that stands out for most. That one particular sense affects you emotionally far beyond the average experience. For some people it’s their olfactory sense and when they smell a particular scent, it will bring them back to a time, place and emotion. Some people, it’s their auditory sense, a mere note or two can affect them to the core. You get the picture.

Sure, I am affected by all my senses. I certainly love a good song and yummy food. But for me, I am deeply moved by visual treats.  I tend to notice colors before anything else. I remember sitting in an ecology class and noticed that five students across from me were wearing maroon shirts, not all the same color but variations of maroon. It was visually appealing how their shirts complimented each other and worked well with the walnut furniture in the classroom. Of course, I had to say something, but Not One Other Person Had Noticed! It was so obvious, how could everyone simply miss it?

Autumn is a wonderful time for colors. We went to the farmer’s market last weekend and it was absolutely visually exhilarating! This year’s bounty definitely makes up for last years deficit. Not only were the vegetables vibrant, so were all the crafts and prepared foods. Unfortunately, my camera battery died half way through the market but I think you see what I mean.

I wasn’t the only one that noticed this time; there were a lot of people taking pictures too.
