Life in the Middle; i.e. it’s Fall {Scavenger Hunt Sunday}

For the first time in months I made a concerted effort to get out with my camera and seek out the word prompts for this weeks scavenger hunt. I enjoyed the challenge and finding some camera time in the midst of a very busy week. (I did have to use one picture from my archives, but it’s a fav so I’m not too upset)
