Goldenrod + textures

4/365
I don't usually add textures to my photos.  Usually I completely forget about textures to be honest.  But today I was in the mood, so I used two of the textures that Rita over at the CoffeeShop Blog makes.  I used one of her painting textures and a grunge texture, both brushed off the flower itself.

Sunday Scavenger Hunt

It has been a long while since I participated in the scavenger hunt.  This week was a good one though since, because of Halloween and a field trip with my daughter's school, I had been taking a lot of photos anyways.  This week I did not get too artistic with my editing... in fact many barely have anything at all done to them.  I hope that you enjoy them anyways.  Let's get started...

Dress Up

Of course I had to use a photo of my beautiful daughter in her costume for dress up.  This year she was a pumpkin witch.  I made part of her costume this year... don't get too excited it was just the tutu part of the skirt.  In the photo it is a little messed up because she was doing cartwheels in the front yard.

Candy

When I was a little girl, almost every house handed out candy and there were hundreds of kids on every street.  While taking my daughter around our neighborhood, we were able to trick or treat about 10 houses... certainly no more than 15... and I would say that there were no more than 30 kids total that we passed.  I find it sad that my daughter will never know what Halloween was when I was a kid.  Kids nowadays miss out on so much.  
Anyways... Candy.  She did get plenty of it and some good stuff too... not just tootsie rolls and bubble gum.

Pumpkin

This is obviously just a snapshot with no pre-planning involved.  The lighting is terrible and I was looking down at her.  Her Kindergarten class had a field trip to a corn maze/pumpkin patch last Friday and I went to help.  Just before they left they all got a mini pumpkin to take home.

Spooky

Ever since I saw the movie "The Birds" many years ago, it always creeps me out when I see large gatherings of birds.  Flocks like this have been gathering on these particular telephone lines for weeks now.  I wasn't really thinking prompt when I snapped this photo obviously taken from inside my truck but I couldn't think of any better photo to use for spooky.

Orange

 The peak of color in my area was this past week and we had some of the most beautiful orange, red, and yellows.  I love fall.

Today I am starting a new Project 365 which I am linking up through a wonderfully educational blog, Click It Up A Notch

I doubt that I will put an explanation on most of my project photos, but since this was the first day, I felt a certain need.  

August according to my phone

Continuing the monthly instragram sized look back of random stuff that I took photos of on my phone, I realized that August was a busy month!  It started out slow with some randomness and lots of rain and clouds.  It ended with Kiera starting Kindergarten, two fairs, and a birthday party.  Of course there was plenty in between.
