Picture Fall

Mother Nature expresses herself a number of ways. The vast spectrum of the elements, her many creatures and a color pallet that no paint could ever match.

Each new season, a unique expression and however she feels, it influences everything. What we want to do, what we wear, how we feel; it all comes back to the whims of Mother Nature.

Why not let your lens lead you as the seasons shift again and we dive headlong into autumn where everything around us takes giant strides toward change and keeps our hearts aglow in gratitude and thanksgiving?

I invite you to join me from October 1- October 31 for my next photo-centric guided e-class called Picture Fall. What could be better than joining other shutter sisters for 30 days of soulful creative expression? I can't think of much.

In celebration of my coming class and the bountiful beauty of the coming months, we're giving away 3 complimentary registrations for Picture Fall. Just leave a comment here today to be entered in the random drawing between now and 9/16 at midnight EST.

And if you so choose, you can share on images boasting your favorite color from Mother Nature's fall pallet and let's get ready to Picture Fall together!

I love the spontaneity and movement of this photo - completely sums up the change from long summer nights to the closing evenings of Autumn.

[Malin]

Oh, I would love to join Picture Fall. I love fall and all the colours!

The colors are fading..but not quite changing just yet.

I would love to have a chance to do this!

Being in Vermont I am EAGERLY awaiting the leaves to reach peak. Looks like we are about two weeks away....

But this topic also fits my monthly photo assignment I have going on over on my page! Be sure to check it out and share your fall photos there too! There's a prize or two awarded at the end of October :)

This is a beautiful, lonely leaf and really sums up the beginning of autumn for me. I would love to join the Picture Fall class (and will anyway!) but it would be great to win :-)

[Jan]

I would love to win a spot in this class, especially since I just upgraded my camera :)

[Cheryl]

I loved picture summer and would love to take this class too....I recently moved from a southern climate with no real noticeable change of season to a northern one and the leaves are already changing color. I love (and have missed) fall!

A little fall flare from last year...http://www.flickr.com/photos/ko2008/4006363397/in/set-72157622294484967/

This is an old picture, but it's one of my fall favourites. Our cats used to love climbing into our raked leaves and getting mighty messy.

Thank you so much for this chance to win a registration in Picture fall!
I am not instictively a big fan of autumn, I feel much more at ease with longer and warmer days, but I am trying to learn to see and appreciate its beauty. Participating in Picture fall would be a wonderful chance!

How awsome it would be to be in this class.

[Jennifer]

Growing up in Florida I didn't truly get to experience autumn at its most beautiful, but living here has made the season a whole new and exquisite experience for me. So much so that I painted my dining room a pumpkin color to keep the season with me year round.

I've already posted this before, but I'm still kinda in love with it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cardboardsea/4974341220/

[Olivia]

I'd love to join in on Picture Fall! October is my favorite month of the year!

[schtanzerl]

I joined Picture Fall and I loved it. Although it's so challenging to shot on a daily base. Currently I honestly struggle with registering for picture fall because I doubt to manage the daily effort ... but I wish I could plan appropriately an join picture fall. PFis highly recommended to any interested reader!

[Cheri A.]

Autumn is one of my favorite seasons! I love watching the parade of colors as the leaves change!

[Jennifer]

I would love to win a spot in this class. I haven't had my camera out for quite some time and I am missing lots of opportunities.

[brittany]

we dont get much of a fall here in florida, but i would still love to participate!

[Lisa G.]

I love fall! I wish it were a more visible change where I live. the class would be such an inspiration to go out and hunt for the shift in season.

[Becky Sue]

I can't wait for Picture Fall!!!

I would love to be a part of Picture Fall.

Here's a shot from 2008 . . . http://www.flickr.com/photos/thedivinemissm/4993094760/

and one from 2009 . . . http://www.flickr.com/photos/thedivinemissm/4993100820/

Autumn is the perfect time for introspection . . . and for me, it's a great time to look back and see how far I've come - not only with my photography, but personally as well.

[jag]

I don't think I could live somewhere that didn't offer the colourful recklessness of Autumn! What a wonderful focus for October... Here are a few of my faves:
