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!

Fall is truly one of my favorite seasons and I can think of no better way to celebrate it than behind the lens of my camera.

I have an oldie but a goodie to share today from a trip to Vancouver Island, BC.

I would love to Picture Fall! I work in wine country where our trees and vines turn all kinds of beautiful fall colors and I never tire of their beauty. I would like to focus on other fall like subjects such as pies and soups and rubber boots...I'm thinking Tracy's class will be very inspiring! Here's one from last October: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lauraophoto/4035397247/in/set-72157621598067282/

What a captivating photo. I could not stop looking at that leaf and trying to figure out techniques, etc. I always welcome Fall and just love every thing about it...except that winter comes after it, and I would love to freeze the autumn season...maybe taking a photo a day would help me do that. Thanks for the opportunity.
