My favorite color to date.
Brown.
{Confession: I wanted to bake a giant chocolate cake and slather it in creamy chocolate frosting for a perfect photo op for this prompt, but decided against the extra temptation.}
You can get your fix over on my pinterest page.
Sigh.
So, I did what I do best. I looked to nature. Even in soft, muted shades, I'm in awe of the magnificent beauty and texture that accompanies brown...
Now it's your turn. What browns have you been eyeing lately?
I’m teaming up with the lovely and talented Kristi of Live and Love Out Loud and Rebecca of Bumbles & Light for the Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge – a colorfully inspiring autumn photography challenge aimed at capturing the beautiful shades of autumn.
Just a few details:
All are welcome regardless of experience, time commitment and whether or not you’re experiencing fall at the moment.
Simply share your favorite images inspired by the autumn shade of the week each Friday and grab our button while you’re at it.
The linky will remain open from 12:01am CST Friday – 11:59pm CST Wednesday. Link directly to your Shades of Autumn blog post or Flickr photo. Feel free to share your photos in our Shades of Autumn Flickr Group or Pinterest Board as well.
We’ll select our favorite photos of the week and share them with you at Bumbles & Light, Live and Love Out Loud, and Project Alicia the following Thursday.
Next week’s theme will be white. For more details, head on over to the Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge Page.
P.S. It's 11/11/11. What are you doing to remember this day that will only come again in a hundred years?
Hi again! Each one of your photos is more beautiful than the last this week - I cant' choose between them! (but the choco pinterests are hard to beat!)
ReplyDelete*sigh* Thank you for those gorgeous images! What a wonderful way to start my day; those logs...that lone dock...and the fluffy seedpod. Just beautiful...
ReplyDeletelove the railroad shot! beautiful shots. i hope you have a wonderful weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful shots, Lish! I'm in love with your shot of the lake covered in mist. I wish I could pack my bags and ski-doo into your photograph right now! One thing's for sure...I'd leave my scarves at home and pack nothing but shorts and tank tops. ;)
ReplyDeleteI would have gladly come help you enjoy that cake! :) Beautiful photos as always. Excited to get out and take my own.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! Love your brown shots!! So lovely.
ReplyDeleteLove the telephone poles and the railroad track!
ReplyDeleteA great series of fall browns.
I'm loving that lake shot sooooooo much.
ReplyDeleteLOVE those tracks!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots, I would love to sit on the end of that dock and wait for the sun to burn away the fog. It looks like a fabulous place for rest and reflection.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of the track and jetty.. really breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteFirst shot totally stunned me and blew the others out of the water (but the water shots were oh so VERY lovely, too) ... I LOVE the first picture! Love it.
ReplyDeleteNo seriously love it.
Well done. :) Alita
Truly gorgeous pics, thanks for sharing! :-)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning photos!
ReplyDeleteAnd Yes, I came back for the Brown theme too :)
Beautiful the lake shot is awesome. They are all great......
ReplyDeleteThese are all wonderful, as always! The harvester and the foggy dock are my favorites. I have a similar milkweed seed shot, but I was saving that for next week's white challenge. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic shots for brown Alicia. I agree- the chocolate cake would have been fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI think the hand full of pinecones might be my favorite--that is if I had to choose...Thanks for hosting the photo challenge :)
ReplyDeleteTried to pick my favorite...the tracks, the shed, the wood pile, the cotton. Forget it....I love them all.
ReplyDeleteI can't decide on a favorite shot from you this week. They are all absolutely amazing. I love how they aren't really 'brown' brown, if you know what I mean. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos with many different brown tones. Great !
ReplyDeleteGreat finds. I love the dock shot with the misty morning fog, so pretty. I too thought about making something sweet and chocolaty, but then thought better of it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Alicia! I really love those train tracks. They are all so beautiful though. Love these ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Sigh, such beautiful photos that feed the soul! I feel more peaceful taking in their gorgeousness.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely shots.
ReplyDeleteOoooo... the chocolate cake would have been awesome! We would be drooling even more than we are over the pics you pinned! lol Gorgeous photos! The one of the still lake is absolutely stunning!
