I’m diving into Songography this week to mix it up with my Scavenger Hunt Sunday. To help with this week’s entries I had lots to do, I spared you 95% of my Haunted House pictures…but included one since I was desperate for a pink picture. Everything else was from our Harvest Festival and mine & hubbies anniversary.
All taken w/ Canon Rebel XS or LG Lucid 2.
1. M is For…
Molly, of course. Couldn’t do this prompt without my beautiful girl.
It’s also for Moon…loved the moon sitting amongst the sunset-lit clouds.
2.What you Saw Today
Pumpkins. Lots of pumpkins at the festival.
And a small plane flying low over the festival.
3. Corner
Another mantis paid us a visit this week, this time he hung out on the corner of my front stoop, posing for shots.
I shot this one “from the hip” and loved the cockeyed angle and the way it caught the corner of the bin of gourds.
4. Pink
I loved the pink silks I found on some of the corn in the maize-maze…most of it had turned black, but some were gorgeously pink.
And then there was this guy’s creepy pink mouth at The Children’s Museum’s Haunted Hollywood exhibit.
5. Hands
Kennedy loved that she could hold the little pumpkins in her hands.
After 11 years of marriage we still like to hold hands at dinner.

Look Out Any Window by Bruce Hornsby:
Lyrics that moved me were: There’s a man workin’ in a field
See’s the rain and it’s burning
He’s saying this can’t be real
Oh as he sees the color of the fields turnin
This time of year there are any number of farmers working out in the fields around here. I didn’t have my camera with me when I happened to stumble upon it, but I thought these shots I got at the fall festival captured the essence of it:
You can find more pictures over at my flickr account.
Great set for SHS. Your Molly is a cutie. – I really liked the corner shot of the Mantis and think it’s sweet you still hold hands while having dinner. – The cornstalk shot for Songography is perfect for that lyric.
Thank you, Ida! The mantis surprised the heck out of me, he was a great find. 😀
The pink corn silk is a great shot and it was really sharp of you to capture it. Love that silhouette shot with the light burst too.
Thanks Stephanie! The corn maze was a fun excursion for our weekend!
What a great bunch of pictures! Love the mantis–we’ve seen them so much this year, too! Lovely farm shots and congrats on your anniversary!
Thanks Brandi! We’ve seen a ton of mantis around here, too. It’s been a lot of fun to photograph them.
Excellent group of photos for both the Scavenger Hunt and Song*ography.
Thanks, Nicki! I had a lot of fun capturing them!
Oh my, that last shot of the cornstalk taken from below looking up is breathtaking. Love the silhouette against the sun, love the flare off the leaf. Just kinda lovin’ that whole composition! :). Thanks for joining in on Song-ography! Hope to see you back again next week.
Thank you so much, Kathy. It was such a beautiful sunny day, as we were walking through that maze I knew I had to capture how beautiful it was. So glad you like it! I hope to be back next week – my photography has been sporadic in recent months, I’m trying to kick myself back into gear with these challenges!
Love your creative responses to the memes…My fav is the last one though♫ My Song…: http://lauriekazmierczak.com/any-window/
These are wonderful interpretations! Love the shot of your girlie with the little pumpkin. This is a great time of year for festivals. Congratulations on the anniversary.
