Went back to Lowe's with my camera one day in October-- after I'd been in for something else--because I loved their colorful fall display
of mums, pumpkins, and crotons.

The varied and gorgeous entries are a guarantee for a strong contest.
I look forward to it, and must find an entry.

12 entries! That's great! And I like what I see so far, I am very impressed with the quality, variety, and beauty of the photos! It's going to be hard picking a winner - I'm glad that's not for me to decide!

This was from a farm field hedgerow on property that was built sometime in the mid-1800's that has now become a new-growth forest owned by The Nature Conservancy and Monroe County.

There are miles of these stone hedgerows on this property...

Thanks for hosting, TK!

I thought it was just a matter of linking to the .jpg on-line, but it's not showing up in Preview mode. Has something changed about posting photos?

ETA: Figured it out!!

A humorous photo on fall being a bad time for allergies. Especially from ragweed.

Love the one you entered!

I was screwing around with a new telephoto lens during half time at one of my son's soccer games this fall. Had no idea I'd captured a bird on a branch by the pond until I downloaded the match photos. 400 pics of sweaty boys and one little birdy.
