Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge Finale


This week is the finale for Shades of Autumn a photo challenge. I actually forgot to add it to my Scavenger Hunt Sunday post, but then I realized it might be more appropriate to post a separate post anyway. So here are some of my favorite autumn shots.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday: November 20, 2011


Scavenger Hunt Sunday items: Mainly One Color, Around the Home, Reflection, Writing and Water

Mainly One Color


I was hoping for some snow this week because I wanted to use this prompt for the color white so I could make it my picture for the Shades of  Autumn challenge. I remember thinking the neighbors fence and house were perfect, but sure needed some more white, wouldn't it be nice if it snowed. I got my wish on Friday morning.  Sorry everyone.

Around the House

For the life of me I didn't know what to do for this prompt. I was trying to figure out what would be interesting around my house. My son suggested going outside the house and get pictures of the girls running around the house. That might have worked, except for the fact that he suggested it tonight after it was already dark. Then Hannah wanted to help put away the silverware, like she has started to do more often. It wasn't until she was almost done that it dawned on me that the children helping out around the house would be a great shot for this prompt. And who best to star, but my newest little helper.

Reflection
Thursday night was the first night the "new" gas station was ready for business. This gas station has been here for as long as I have lived in the area and recently was bought by Acorn Markets. I shared pictures during the summer of the demolition of the thrift shop next door. And we have been watching them put up the new pumps with rapt attention. They were finally done this week and when I looked out the window I saw the way the lights reflected in the puddles, I had to take some pictures.

Writing

Miss Hannah loves to write and color these days. She makes papers filled with swirls and scribbles. It amazes me how perfectly she holds a pen with no direction from us. Tabitha had been the same way. I took these shots at the Bills game two weeks ago, but when I saw the prompt, I knew what I wanted to share.

Water
There is a little pond between our home and where we go to church. On the way to story time the other day I saw these ducks and some geese congregating there. So on the way home I stopped to take some pictures. I thought this would be a great shot for water. Love the ripples and the wake of the ducks.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday: November 13, 2011


I realize I have been linking up to more than Scavenger Hunt Sunday lately. Perhaps I should call this post Scavenger Hunt Sunday Plus. Anyway, here are this week's prompts:
Scavenger Hunt Sunday items: Before and After, Opposing Lines, Custom Bokeh, Which Pair of Shoes Should I Wear?, and Little Features

Before and After

Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge

Photobucket

Photobucket
This tub is in our back yard and I thought it would be great for this week's Shades of Autumn-brown. I really liked my first shot because not only did it have the brown in the tub, but in the background of the park and the foreground with the stump. However, hubby preferred a close up shot I had taken. Seeing as I really liked this first shot, I decided to crop and edit it a bit for the before and after prompt. And the third picture, well, I was having a lot of fun on Photobucket. (So glad my editing program wasn't working, Photobucket is a lot more fun).

Opposing Lines


Both of these shots are from this past week's Bills game. I saw the steps inside the Field House and thought they would work for "opposing lines." Then I was looking at this shot from before the game and realized the yard lines were opposing lines to the way the players were lined up and the stands. If I am understanding the lesson correctly.





Which Pair of Shoes Should I Wear?

 I actually don't have a lot of shoes to chose from, so I thought I would line them up for this shot.






Little Features


Had to get shots of both girls holding the baby dolls. I wanted to show the dolls hands in their hands.

My favorite shot of the week is from the Bills game.
