Hello, October...

And hello, you.
Seems as if it's been forever since we've seen each other. Life just keeps moving forward...and I've been hard at work capturing every last drop of it. Fall has definitely arrived here in the Midwest...bringing glorious color, cooler temperatures, and hints of bountiful blessings. Today, well, today is a bit rainy...which is perfect for curling up with a good book and something fattening.
Not so good for photography.
Late last month, I began discussions with one Miss Addie Mae (not her real name) over yonder at Addie Mae Photography (an amazing photographer in her own right...see her work here. http://addiemaephoto.blogspot.com/ ). She was completely on board with teaming up for a photography challenge this month...because creativity is always better when shared! So, one was chosen...and in order to spare you all a daunting influx of daily posts, it was decided that we would post every three days. That means...lots of photography per blog post, but less clogging up your news feed and such. Because, well, we all have better things to do.
So October begins...

Day One {Falling}
I am invoking photographer rights...using creative license and opening this up to personal interpretation. Sunflowers. The "falling" of Summer. Some, literally, falling...at the end of their life cycle..still beautiful and majestic. And a random photo of my daughter, some seasons ago, catching "falling" light petals.


Day Two {Golden}
A sprinkling of fall color in a golden leaf, a rich golden Midwest field, a stunning golden sunset sky, and a little bit of geekdom gold. Because a certain golden droid is good for the soul.


Day Three {Wood}
From driftwood on the beach to firewood in the field...it seems as if I have a certain propensity for this particular subject matter. The eye of a photographer is ever roaming and random. (and doesn't that firewood just BEG for a roaring bonfire? Yes, I thought so, too.)


Embracing autumn...and welcoming a rain free weekend full of new photo opportunities. My Small is off on an adventure of her own...MANY miles away from me...this weekend, so I relish the chance to work and fill the empty spaces. I don't want to miss her...but I'm afraid it is an inevitable reality.
Wishing you all a weekend full of comfort and blessings. Thank you for tagging along on the journey...see you back here on Sunday evening!

*News/Updates/Schedule: Along with the Photography Challenge, October is working itself up to be chock full of activity! There ARE still a few available spaces on the schedule though...time to start thinking about holiday photos and gifts. It's a GREAT time of year to get outside for those family sessions!

Peace and Love!
