Color Inspirations

Where do you get your inspiration for the colors you choose to use in a project?  I recently received an email that contained these pictures that were taken at Butchart Gardens, in Victoria, British Columbia, during the fall.  WOW is all I can say, especially after reading the caption that all these gorgeous colors are leaves only, no flowers!  It sure made my soul smile to see the colors as we're stuck with the winter "bluckies" here for another couple of months!
