Living Outside the Stacks

Can you believe we’re at the end of the challenge? Where did the time go? Is winter really just around the corner? *sigh*

I’d like to thank our older full hosts for putting this challenge together ~ great job, ladies. And to all of the participants, thank you for sharing your lives and your skill each week. I tip my hat to all of you, y’all are incredibly talented.

So much has changed since we first began the Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge seven weeks ago. Temps were hovering in the high 90s, the trees were lush with green leaves and my family and I were settling in to our new lives in Missouri…

I explored the Conservation Center with my kids, wandered my neighborhood and pulled over on the side of the road to capture pictures for this challenge. For the finale, I am resubmitting some of my favorite shots and introducing others, I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
