Messing with the blogging world since 2005

Photo Blogging Challenge (October 2017): Photographer’s Choice

October 31, 2017

Leave it to me to mess the easiest of themes up.

Well, I didn’t mess up the theme, per say. Rather, I messed up the posting! I’ve worked a bunch lately and with Halloween being on the 31st, I totally lost my thoughts. And by the time I remembered … I was already at work.

Go figure.

Alas, better late than never! And I always leave the linkup live for seven days, so hopefully that helps.

I’ve also been slowly catching up on visiting and commenting past challenges I missed. I still have a few more to go, but there’s been some great posts!

All that being said, it’s time to see what this month has brought us. I do look forward to seeing what others did for this theme! Here is my five for the month:

1. Sunrise

I went to the Jersey shore at the beginning of the month and several shots from this challenge are from that trip. I got up uber early one of the days to catch a sunrise. Totally worth it. There will be another shot from that shoot further down.

2. Perfect weather

I always visit South Jersey in the fall because … less people. It’s usually cooler, but still nice. But this early October weekend brought perfect weather — mainly blue skies and in the 70s. I had to go buy a bathing suit so I could get closer to the water and not worry if it washed up on me.

 

3. A great season

One of the nights in Jersey … Ocean City had fireworks, so took a trip up to catch them. The tripod I had was fighting with me, so this ended up being done by hand …and I loved the look of it!

4. Before the sunrise

I loved the colors in this shot. It was before the sunset, but as the light started to be more noticeable.

5. Cameron!

Cameron is back! Went and saw him at his Sunday soccer camps. It’s always fun to watch him. So. Much. Energy.

There are my five and I look forward to seeing what others had this month!

If you took part in this month’s challenge, make sure to link up below. And for those of you who participated, make sure you try and get to other people’s blogs and comment (here, too!). Let’s continue to grow this challenge and have a strong community. Come back and check out the others who link later on, too!

Also, don’t forget to get back here Wednesday, November 1 for the November theme!

NOTE: I set up a Facebook group for those who participate in the challenge and are interested. I’ll post any announcements there and hopefully it can be a place where things are discussed and some interaction etc. You can access it here.

    Wonderful, wonderful pictures. I especially love the (pre) sunset at the beach. So peaceful. Always great to see young Cameron smiling. Also I’ m a sucker for fireworks, so this post was definitely a treat for me. Thank you!

    I’ve got to come up with a reason to get to the shore. I have friends that visit almost every summer. Your pictures make me want to visit even more.

    I thought the sunrise was spectacular….until I got to the sunset! The colors are so vivid. Love it! I always have difficulty capturing fireworks. I like that yours has a red theme going for it. And…of course…Cameron is always a wonderful photo opp. He’s growing up so fast!

    Shoreline photos aren’t something I get to try very often…the shore of the small reservoir in the middle of Calgary just isn’t the same thing as the ocean shore. You made some fantastic landscapes and I especially like the way you include a long expanse of sand to anchor each composition, rather than looking straight out to sea. And adding a dash of Cameron? Perfect way to round out your selection for October.

    All your shots are brilliant. I especially like the seascapes and how the sunsets are defined by colour and tone, I like the area that lacks detail as it emphasises the colour, tone and simplicity of the lines that form the beach, land and sea.

You know, of course, Santa Paws travels with Santa Clause, making sure to find treats and toys for all the good little doggies! (We know they are all deserving, right?) So, Harper put out some milk for the big guy, carrots for Rudolph and the reindeer, and special cookies for Santa Paws! She is ready!

I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I have her. It’s been a year and four months and she makes me smile and laugh more each day. It’s amazing how much a dog changes your look on life, and how much joy they can bring.

This one is recent from the courthouse square in Delhi. We had some pretty good fall colors this year.

I had Harper so not a lot I could do, but I managed to get the cart off the chair. (See second photo) This was in a local park.

A video looking at my first year and a half of owning a golden retriever, my first dog. It's had its ups and downs, but I've truly loved the ride and look forward to the future.

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.
