Fall Photography Challenge - Day 1

Scottish Gal is hosting a fall themed photography challenge at her blog, Discovering Nature Behind My Lens. Here's my entry for day 1.

I miss these maple leaves...

Sixteen!

 

Look, it's meee! Being behind the camera I don't believe you've ever seen me...my dad took command of my camera for these.

Chocolate cake....oh how I love this stuff...

My little bro, he approves. :D

More cake! This is the fail birthday cake. It came out crumbly so it was hard to frost...hehe, it kind of fell apart. BUT IT STILL TASTED AMAZING! Ahem. :D

Happy November!

With October over and all the autumn loveliness washed away by the snow I can't help but post another photo from my trip East...the trees were gorgeous there. This photo was a beautiful sight to these eyes of mine that have been looking upon brown trees...

And you may notice the logo change...

And this is my beautiful MacBook. I've had it for about a month. He's so sleek.

Now...I'm off to work on an insane project that I don't have to do, a.k.a. NaNoWriMo. I made even more insane by not deciding to do it until the last minute....meaning 5 days into it. :P

Looking forward to an awesome week, my 16th birthday is on Wednesday!!!

Happy November! {be it 6 days late}

Remnants of Autumn

a.k.a Look, the "Snow's Melting!" or "In Which I Post More Photos Instead of Writing a Real Post!" :D

A week ago we got out first substantial snow. It kind of stole my autumn. All of the pretty leaves are gone. But I've still gotten some good pictures. And then it snowed again yesterday. All except the last of these photos are from the day after the first snow though. :)

This is the same tree that was pictured in my last post...he's just bare now.

The afternoon sun through some trees...

Evidence of snow! 

Wet aspen leaves.

And this one I took on my trip last month.

Hope you're all having a wonderful week! Tomorrow's Friday...then the weekend!

It's Autumn Here Too

As promised, here are a couple photos from around my house. I've been lazy and haven't edited that many....but there will be more soon. ;)

Airplanes & Autumn

Needless to say, I haven't posted for a few weeks. ;) Actually, last Wednesday I went on a little trip for the Baptism of my cousin and first goddaughter, that explains my absence this past week. It was a ton of fun hanging out with my family. And I love travelling on my own...I don't know what there is about it but I think it's thrilling.

And I love baby hands.

When I left my house everything was still mostly green, when I flew east everything was red and orange and magical.

I came home today and everything has changed. I walked out of the doors at the airport into crisp, cool air. Driving home I saw all of the trees that are now yellow (some orange and red but mostly yellow). I got home and changed into pajamas. I'm making a cup of hot tea. It's autumn here too.

Pictures from around my house to come...in the future...

Hey Look, Earrings!

Just a quick little post. :)

I made this pair of earrings this summer. The beads are Swarovski crystals (of course ;) and the triangular jump rings are a gift from one of my friends. When she first gave them to me I had no idea what to do with them but, while I was playing around, I got these.

I was surprised at how cute they turned out. :D What do you think?
