This is my favorite time of the year, as the temperatures cool, the air feels crisp and clean, the birds are plentiful at our suet feeder, and the leaves start to change color. What a wonderful time of the year it is to get outdoors, go for a walk and even better, bring your camera to take some photos of the local scenery. I will often park my car on the side of the road when passing a particular eye-catching view and snap a pic of it with my phone or my small mirrorless camera which I often keep in my purse. For the photo in this layout, I knew the quality of the photo wouldn’t be exceptional but the memory it evokes is what I was after. This was in Northern BC, while driving by on a tour bus. I snapped this shot through the window.
Fall is such a sensory experience, with the smells, the taste, and the visual impact of the changing environment. Take a photo as you stroll through your neightborhood or visit a local park. Just get outdoors and experience the changing season. Fall makes me think of hot chocolate, orange, yellow and red colors, pumpkin spice latte’s, morning fog, swirling leaves in the wind, and one of the best things, for me, is that it becomes sweater weather! I love to wear my sweaters (I have a lot LOL)! In fact, I think I need to get a photo of myself outside, wearing one of my sweaters, with the fall colors around me. I’m glad I have a selfie stick. I think I’ll do this later today and then create a page about my love of sweaters.
For the photo of this layout, I was at the corner of our street, walking up the walkway to the bridge. (I’m lucky enough to live across from a river.)
Fall might look and feel different for you, depending on what region you live in. Why not scrap a layout about what fall is like in your neighborhood, sharing what you see in your neck of the woods.
Head on over to the challenge forum and check out this months’ challenges including my challenge! Hope you participate and I look forward to to seeing what fall looks like in your neighborhood.
