Two Weeks in Autumn Photo Challenge - Day 1 "First Signs"

Recently I completed a 30 day good photos challenge where one blogger selected daily subjects or techniques which would challenge our abilities to take better pictures. This exercise was very beneficial for a novice photographer like myself. I was learning to use a new camera with the goal of taking better travel photos. So, for an entire month I faithfully posted a photo which was my personal take on the assigned subject whether it be sunrises or sun flares.

September 23rd is the beginning of autumn so, to celebrate this most gorgeous time of the year, I thought it would be fun to host the Two Weeks in Autumn Photo Challenge. Look around you as you go about your daily lives the next two weeks and see if you can capture the magic of autumn with your camera.

September 23, Day 1 "First Signs" -- Maple tree leaves just beginning to turn in the neighborhood.

Check back here daily to see my photo of the day's subject and get your topic for the following day. Let me know in the comments if you're participating so I can visit you and steer other readers to your site.

    My magic of fall was the rain we got yesterday! Nothing hard so as to run off, but steady light rain all day. My little corner of the world is much happier this morning!

    Sayre-woke up to rain this morning and looks like it's staying around for a while. I haven't mowed the yard in over a month. Weeds don't grow as fast as grass-or, they go to seed faster!

    What a lovely idea and chance for me to get back into the habit of posting more regularly.

    joan-you're on the list. I agree that it's easier to post more consistently if you have a theme going and other bloggers posting on the same topic. That's one reason we loved Fun Monday so much.
