Hi friends! I hope you had a great week! We actually traveled over the weekend and came back feeling refreshed, it was very much needed.
Back at home, we’ve had very little sunshine, maybe none at all except a few rays today, getting inspired to take photos in the cloud covered days sure is difficult. I took advantage of the sun peaking through the clouds today with a walk in one of my favorite parks. I then treated my sweeties to some Halloween Sweetness.
(I apparently liked red AND rounded corners this week!)
I can’t get over how much we are enjoying fall this year, makes me sad that it’s coming to a close. (makes me sadder that winter is coming. boooooo!)
Now it’s your turn to share! REMEMBER: Everyone who participates in this week’s You Capture will be entered to win a $35 Snapfish gift certificate! In order to be included in the drawing, you MUST have your entry (linked up in Mr. Linky) in by Thursday, October 30th at 9:00 pm CST. The winner will be announced during next week’s You Capture post!
But first:
1. You can join in on this challenge at any time! We welcome & love new participants.
2. ONLY SIGN MR. LINKY IF YOU ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTUAL CHALLENGE.
3. Please make sure you are linking directly to your specific You Capture post in Mr. Linky (and not just your site, for instructions, go here) and please make sure you are linking back to this challenge in your post. If you don’t abide by this, your link will be removed. (I know, I’m so mean.)
4. Try your hardest not to reuse a picture from your archives, the goal of You Capture is to get you moving with your camera, get creative! Challenge yourself!
5. Do your best to visit the other participants’ site – everyone loves the traffic, the comments and the feedback (not just you!)
6. And finally, post as many pictures as you want on your post.
Whatever you want! I initially thought I would do a spooky theme, but I realize that not everyone participates in Halloween festivities, so how about we make next week’s You Capture a FREE FOR ALL! Get creative on YOUR terms! I can’t wait to see what you come up with. Happy Halloween!
That first one is spooooky. I love it.

Ok, NOT that I, you know, hit refresh a couple times to get first… ahem. But if I had, I would have then gone back and read your post and left a comment letting you know that I love the coloring on the first image and also I happen to be partial to rounded corners. Good choice!
Great pictures! We had a similar sort of day today too. The sun made a brief appearance, made for nice pictures though!

Those cupcakes look so fun! Love the first shot.

Those halloween cupcakes look fantastic! Sunnyboy would love those
Gorgeous shots! I really love the leaves with the waterfall. And I love the rounded corners!

The lighting in that first one is STUNNING. All dark and twisty, just like I like.
That first one looks super spooky. I can hear things creaking and whoooooing just looking at it.
[...] I love Autumn. While Winter remains my favorite, I love fall. I love the chill in the air. The jeans. The sweatshirts. The leaves. The smells. The sounds. The football. The Halloween and Thanksgiving preparations. I just love it all. I caught a few pictures this week. (And in case you missed my Wordless Wednesday yesterday, it has three of my new favorite “Autumn-slash-Halloween” pictures.) As such, I was pleased that this week’s You Capture theme was Autumn.

I love the water fall one. Really colorful and full of light and movement.
Glad to be participating again.
The shot of the water is lovely. And those cupcakes are extraordinary!
I really enjoyed your photos and everyone else’s so far! Autumn is just so, so lovely.
I LOVE the clouds in the first picture! …i had fun with this “assignment”!
Lovely shots. I love all the red, especially the water.
oh, and those cupcakes. nom nom!
I love those cupcakes!

I love the first photo!. When I look at it I feel like I’m waiting for something to happen. A Storm, wind, a walker. Very cool!
Seeing these makes me homesick for Indiana, and makes me want a cupcake monster!
I love the first picture. And those cupcakes look scrumptious! yum!
I had a lot of fun this week – I took waaay too many pictures to post, but had a blast doing it.
I love the red – and my favorite is your second photo with the leaves. Great photos!
I LOVE those first two shots, and your cupcake monsters are ADORABLE!
That first one is kind of spooky but I love it! All of them are good, of course!
I’m delurking to say that a friend introduced me to your blog a few weeks back, and I’ve really been enjoying your writing. This is my first time joining in, and I had such fun with the challenge this week!
I love the first photo you posted — it really has a quiet, almost spooky feel to it!
Liking red and rounded corners this week really worked out for you because your pictures are STUNNING. They make me realize how much I have to learn and even more grateful for this wonderful You Capture series which gets us out there and practicing.
Once again, I’m blown away by your gorgeous photos.
I love your pictures so much!!
i love love love the second photo (not that the others aren’t good, cause they are, but the second one blows my mind)
I just have NOT been into photos lately, not sure if it’s the move, not having a computer at home or WHAT…I hope to get back on track soon.
*sigh*
Beautiful. Those cupcakes are amazing.
Your pictures are lovely! And please tell me you bought though cupcakes, because I might die of the cuteness if you tell me you actually made them from scratch!
These are awesome! Those cupcakes are so fun.

Hi Beth
I’m not partial to round corners myself, that said (corners aside) I LOVE the first shot. I love the opposing angles – the zigzag of the path, the horizontals of the branches and the verticles of the tree-trunks dying plants. I love the colouring of the whole thing – a sort of desaturated cross-processy look – it really works!!
The second shot is beautiful too – the deep rest and the blackness of the water – stunning
Your kiddos are always cute too and the last shot is clever
I love all the pics, but especially the first two…the first is so spooky, in a good way, and the second has beautiful colors. Great job!
Beth – Your photos this week are gorgeous. Love the little monsters!
I have just spent I don’t know how long looking through some really beautiful photos on blogs I doubt I would have found without you. I really needed that today so I just wanted to say ‘Thank you’.
Those are fantastic shots! I wish we had colored leaves and autumn around here
It’s still 85 and the trees are either still green or brown 
I love the first one. I would love to hang it on my wall.
I love your pictures! And am impressed by your rounded corners! First time to stop by and link up. thanks for being a great hostess!
You take such beautiful pictures and your kids are so cute! I love the first shot, but I think the second one is my favorite.
The red in each of the photos is vibrant and beautiful! I like the rounded corners to, gotta figure out how to do that!
