day 7

Day 7:

Changes to Come.

grrr. 

another one i don't like.

oh well.

just deal with it michelle.

take some pictures and be done with it.

so.

it's Autumn.

its the season of change.

the trees take in less nutrients and shut down for the winter to come.

leaves change color and drop off the branches where they once clung tightly.

the change to winter is happening.

hopefully this is a change to come without much fighting.

kids' bedtime.

from clothes to pjs 

my laundry room/space.

one day to be put back together - not the same as it was, but nicer.

one day. 

there.

done.

day 6

Day 6: 

Obsession

so, i will admit i was not excited about the theme today.

seriously..

obsession?

how do i take a picture of that?

the pictures are nothing spectacular, i didn't try to be very creative.

i just took some pics to complete the theme of the day.

the definition:

many many people's obsession.  

their phone, their apps, the internet, their social media. 

Dan sometimes tells me i'm obsessed with this game.

i rarely play it but...

sometimes i just need to complete the level. 

i am a little obsessed, at times, with reading.

day 5.

day five.

after Dark

i had to wait all day to do my day's assignment.

but here it is:

the car across the tracks

vehicle coming.

love how the lights happen... 

look, there's the front of the car, and the back...

but where's the car? 

our trees 

that is life outside after dark.

i'm so thankful it gets dark earlier right now, i was tired and it was only 8pm.

day 4

day 4.

Something Green.

Kids got on the bus and i immediately grabbed Gertie and away we went.

***

when my husband was digging up our sewage pipe in our yard he found about eight green glass bottles.  

they have been sitting on our patio table for a couple weeks now.

they were my inspiration for this day.

i decided to go for a walk.

i wasn't going to do just one something green, i was going to find a few others.

as i walked through the bush with the dog i was thinking how nice it would be to get a picture of one green leaf on the ground amongst the reds, browns, oranges.  

then i looked down.

as we walked and saw moss.

i love moss.

 and on a rainy day like today it seems so much brighter.

it's amazing when you're keeping your eyes open for something you notice it everywhere.

the trail we were walking was green.

it had it everywhere.

with the rain and cloudiness of the day the other colors of fall have been dulled, 

but the greens...

how they pop!

of course we have to appreciate the evergreens.

we have two lonely pumpkins in the pumpkin patch.

guess what color they are.

that's right.

photo challenge completed before breakfast.

there weren't a lot of clouds today, but i found some.

day 2

alright.

day 2.

what you wore.

hmmm...

i could go with the "here's what i wore today" photo 

or 

i could go with a "here's what i wore for something special."

i went with both.

 i did Tough Mudder on the weekend.

here's what i wore, all cleaned and hanging out to dry.

here's what i wore today.

my favorite footwear.

my birkenstocks.

day 3 tomorrow.

Day 1

i have assigned myself a 30 day challenge.

day one.

self portrait.

yes, that's me.  the sun wasn't that bright so it's a light shadow.

in the car window.   

in the side of the car.  this warps me.. kind of funny. 

i did take a couple of my face.. didn't care for them, had more fun trying different shots.

i'm not sad in the last pic, i'm concentrating and forgot to smile.

sorry.
