So, I'm sort of waxing poetic and messin' around with my new camera.  The result is my first ever photo essay called....

FALL IS...

Vivid

Oooohhhh....ahhhh....

Birthdays (in our family anyway)

Big D with the tiramisu I made him yesterday.  It's Pioneer Woman's recipe.

Black Cats

In the determination to maintain 100% integrity on my blog, we painted Ripley black for this photo shoot.

OK...not really.  There's Ripley, still orange, and trying to melt the black cat that's in his yard and playing with his family with his scary laser eyes.

Leaves

Orange Leaves

Red Leaves

Yellow Leaves

Green Leaves

Black Leaves....oops

Forgot to turn on my flash.  I'm starting to sound a little like Sandra Boynton.

Brown leaves

Multi-colored Leaves

No Leaves

One more reason for my R-rating:  tree nudity.

My new pumpkin pie-colored chunky sweater

Football

Warning:  Use caution when photographing someone kicking a football.  Use your zoom and have plenty of ice on hand.

Fun for some

Another birthday picture of Big D

...but not so much fun for others

And finally, fall is your mother putting you in a tree for a cool photo op even though you were rather scared, smiling nervously, saying the whole time through your teeth, "Get me down.  Please, get me down, Mom," and hanging onto the trunk for dear life...

DID YOU SEE THE WREATH?!?

E-mail me at kellieann@adelgren.com for your chance to earn some points!

Update:  I have awarded a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for this entry.  It took a whole 20 minutes.  Obviously, I have some very competitive ladies playing this game.

Be watching for another opportunity for some points that will not involve "I Spy"....coming soon!

If we even pretend we're going to lift Braden into a tree, he has a nervous breakdown!

I love seeing all the different colors of leaves. So brilliant. Good job!

Did you like the tiramisu? I made her mashd potatoes. Very good, but how can you go wrong with those?:) Actually, I made them ahead of time to test it for Thanksgiving. She said they can be made 2 days ahead. I tried it and they were great.

The autumn leaves are so pretty. I definitely did not appreciate that growing up in north GA.

Besides being bad luck and buying your child shoes so you can have them and.... well, new unique things. Or, we could ask family members? LOL!

I saw it, but since I am on vacation I couldn't get on a computer until this afternoon. If I had been working I would have seen it this morning at 6am.

Oh well, see you tomorrow!

Love you!

My first attempt at a Christmas Photo of my kids involved putting them up in a tree. I got lots of pics like that LOL! I need that sweater this morning.
