Heh heh. Aren’t my puns great? *Sigh* Yes, I know they’re awful. ANYWAY, I’m super excited to show you guys these fall pictures! I’ve been saving them up for a while now and I finally get to post them. 🙂
First I want to show you our beautiful ombre maple tree. 😀 Well actually the leaves are all fallen from it now, but this is how it used to look. Isn’t it lovely?
One of the other maples beside our lane was absolutely gorgeous this year! Especially with the sun shining through the leaves… ah, it was beautiful.
I LOVE these pumpkin pictures! 😀
And back to the tree again. This bokeh… OH MY GOODNESS! ♥
I really like the composition of the next one. (Wow, I’m doing a lot of portrait, vertical photos aren’t I? Here’s a question: Should I make them smaller so you can see them without scrolling, or do you like them full size as they are?)
Leaves can make even dusty black trucks pretty. 🙂
I promise I didn’t put the leaf there. Isn’t the position so neat and funny?
And of course we musn’t forget the classic holding-a-leaf-up picture, am I right?
Ooh, and then I got several adorable pictures of Maggie looking all dejected. 😛
HA HA Maggie looks like she’s havng an intent conversation with a leaf or something and the leaf just said something shocking. XD What would you caption this photo? (No winners this time – just for fun. 😉 )
Here’s a fun fall photography prompt: try to find fall leaves in a half-rainbow, from red to green. Arrange them in an ombre pattern and snap away! 🙂 I had a lot of fun with this, but it also took FOREVER to collect the leaves.
Huh, what do you know. I’m wearing the same skirt as in this post. (I promise I don’t wear it every Sunday. XD )
I rather like this edit.
And lastly, just a few edited photos. I spent SUCH a long time trying to capture a leaf falling. XD
And we end with a photo featuring a picturesque (?) four-wheeler? Okay…
- Condense my photography posts a little. And post more people and pet photography rather than mostly random nature photos like I just did.
- Keep my header but maybe change the theme and clean up the sidebar. (Question: do you ever use the category pictures on my sidebar? If not, I’ll just delete them.)
- Make more art posts and start up with Art Lab again! The thing is, it’s a little hard to do a collab art blog with just me posting… heh heh. I want to get that figured out too. Anyway, I already have a fun Art Lab post in mind which I will hopefully post maybe Saturday or Sunday.
- Make featured images for all my posts, not just some, for more cohesiveness.
P. S. GUYS. I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING ELSE. If you type this: :{), it looks like an emoji with a mustache. WHY IS THAT NOT A THING? Oh, right. Probably because it’s completely useless. True. BUT STILL. Okay, I’m actually done now.
i love therse fall pics ur good at this for sure.

Great photos, Allison! They’re so pretty and fall-ish. Isn’t Autumn just so beautiful? 🙂 The half-rainbow idea with leaves was really fun. I really like the second picture of that. Also, that last picture is fun. I personally don’t mind having a lot of photos in a post, but I agree that maybe it would be good if you cut back a little bit. Perhaps you could just do more photography posts and spread out the photos? I’m not sure if that’s a good idea, but I really do enjoy seeing your photography. I generally don’t use the category links on the side, but you shouldn’t get rid of them, because they are useful when I am trying to find an old post or something on your blog.

Ooh, thanks for the advice! That’s a good idea to spread them out a bit. And okay, good to know. 😉 What do you think about just having a Category dropdown or cloud so it wouldn’t take up so much room? It also wouldn’t look as pretty, but it would be less cluttered…

Soo pretty! Autumn is such beautiful season (and really quite an amazing piece of God’s creation!)! I haven’t really minded when you have long photography posts. I like nature photography, too 🙂 . As for full-sized or smaller photos, I prefer if they are sized so that I can see the whole thing on the screen, so I can take it all in rather than trying to scroll up and down to see it. And as for the sidebar category pictures, I personally don’t really use them. I kinda like their design, but I think I’ve used them only once or so.
The rainbow leaves is a really neat prompt!! And I think the four-wheeler is picturesque! I like that it is a red four-wheeler among the fall-colored leaves!
Let’s see… Maggie caption…
Maggie: *looking despondently at the leaves* Allison, why won’t they play with me?
Or…
Maggie: I can hardly bear to look. All these poor trees losing their coats!
And again, Lovely pictures and post! I enjoy seeing the fall colors on your farm!

Your photography is stunning! It makes me so excited for fall 🙂 One thing that Wix allows you to do is to make a photography gallery, and it puts your photos into a sort of slideshow that goes on its own.

Oh my gosh, I LOOOOVE these photos Allison. We call it autumn in the UK, but ‘fall’ is my absolute favourite season. I’m not sure which word I prefer??? Autumn sounds pretty and warm, but fall is dramatic and captures an image of leaves falling from branches.
The colours are stunning, it’s beginning to get colder (but not too cold), there’s bonfires *squeals with excitement* and there’s pumpkins to gaze at and eat!
What more could you want?! 😁😁😁
