Hi everyone. I hope you all had fun capturing the change of the season. I did…not. Simply because I went to GREAT LENGTHS to go out and capture something unique and perfect for autumn and my camera was basically dead. It just sat there. This was about 90 minutes after a waitress spilled water into my purse where my camera was located.
I did realize she had spilled it on my camera when it happened, so I took it out of my purse to check it but it was fine. I knew that it could very well be broken later but what could you do? I put my camera down and ate about nine breadsticks, that’s what you can do. Which means I can blame this waitress on my lame-ass attempts at autumn and also may 2 pound weight gain this week. Yay.
Anyway. As I had hoped, my sweet little camera is fine. So, Eli and I drove around in the freaky weather and tried to capture fall.
I found this.
I also took a picture of the chicken tortilla soup I made but I downloaded it and it was too boring to even edit so I couldn’t bear to show it to you guys because it was just that. A bowl of soup. Even my bowl was boring.
But the soup. The soup was goooooood.

Two, I have TWO for you.
1. Halloween
2. Silence
I prefer you to participate in both but I know some of you do not celebrate Halloween. But I would love it if we could all do silence. I can’t wait to see your creative brilliance at work…
And hey, if you are trying to photograph pumpkins, try to do it at dusk, turn off your flash (OF COURSE) and slow down your shutter speed. For great results, put your camera on a tripod.
Happy Capturing!
Just WOW! That picture is SO gorgeous.
well it is a great shot and glad your camera is ok
Amazing photo! I love all the bright colors. And I hope your soup was delicious even if it looked boring.
Gorgeous colors!
Goodness that picture is beautiful!
Three things..

Recipe for the soup? Please?
Okay, so I have no fancy camera, but I do want your soup recipe, even if you won’t share a picture.
Pretty please with a cupcake on top?
Beautiful shot, and I’m SO glad your camera is okay!
It’s like a painting. Only it’s a photograph.
Those colors are so gorgeous. And I’m wishing we had them here. Oh well. At least I can “visit” you and see them…
I need to make some soup like that. Sounds delish!!
what a great little autumn road! and glad your camera is okay…i don’t blame you for eating a whole basket of bread sticks.
I just love the golden in your shot! Beautiful.
beautiful phot. So glad your camera is okay. Have a great Thursday!
Gorgeeous picture!!
You need to frame that!
I just love that picture. Your colors are so vibrant!
I love your picture. I don’t think it’s boring-and I’m glad your camera is fine. My pics may be boring, but I find if I worry about that too much….then I don’t have any fun taking pics. Maybe boring is all in the eye/camera of the beholder.
Thanks for sharing…looking forward to interpretting silence. Happy day to you.
Beautiful picture! {Hooray for the camera not being damaged.}
so sorry to hear about your camera! but your image of autumn is just fantastic, gorgeous golden tones & you are completely making me crave some yummy soup & bread sticks! thanks for hosting & happy thursday!
Oh wow, the landscape seems “soft”.
The colors are amazing. This could definitely be a post card.
Well what you did capture is wonderful and at least your camera survived!
OH WOW. That picture is just too good to be true. GORGEOUS. WOW.
I’d be so mad about the water on the camera! And, that is sucj a pretty picture!

YUM! I love chicken tortilla soup!
That road is beautiful. And I really love the idea of silence…my life could use a little silence.
My heart stopped for a moment when you said water was spilled on your camera. I would have freaked. Glad it all came out okay. Thanks for the jack o lantern tips!
Thanks for the jack o lantern tips!

I know, right?!? Tornadoes in October!!! Midwest (rolls eyes) but you took an amazing shot. Not boring! Love the soft color pop.
And I’m happy that your camera (er other baby…wink) is ok!
PS. I can’t wait for next weeks You Capture. Both subjects are favorites around here.
Gorgeous colors. It’s a perfect shot for Autumn. I’m glad your camera was still working to get this photo.
wow- that’s so beautiful. I love that the red barn is way back there in the middle of all the fall colors. makes me miss Indiana.
Gorgeous photo!
Love that photo, it is so very calming and peaceful
I am honoring you with an award at http://traininghappyhearts.blogspot.com/2010/10/7-quick-takes-and-another-honor.html
Love this. So glad your camera is ok. Is the soup spicy? I meant to ask you if the soup was very spicy- is it something I could make for my grandparents?

They say that a picture is worth 1000 words, but I think yours worth’s a whole lot more… Every detail in it screams of Autumn. You have a real talent, keep them coming.
