I’m teaming up with the lovely and talented Rebecca of Bumbles and Light and Alicia of Project Alicia 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 and Shades of Autumn Pinterest Board as well.

We’ll select our favorite photos of the week and share them with you at Bumbles & Light, Project Alicia and Live and Love Out Loud the following Thursday.

Next week’s theme will be purple. For a complete list of upcoming themes, head on over to the Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge page.

I am loving the first photo as well. Most of my leaves in my woods have fallen, it seems that fall has flown by.

Jenny, I’m so sorry for not responding sooner. I’m doing well, hanging in there. Some days are good and some days are bad, but I’ll be okay. His suffering is over and that’s the main thing. He was my last grandparent so it’s a little bittersweet. Thank you so much for thinking of me and for asking.

Beautiful photos. I wish we had more red in Calgary – I miss the reds of my hometown.

So enjoying all of the submissions in this fall challenge! Fantastic idea!

Thank you Emily. I go to great lengths when it comes to getting the lighting just so in my photos so your compliment means a lot to me. Thanks so much for stopping by and for joining us in the Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge. Have a great day!

The way you use contrast is just magical! I really love your shots (and they always feel sunny – does it rain occasionaly over there? )

Kristi (3460 comments) twitter: @TweetingMama

Aw, thank you so much Meyser! Yes, it most definitely rains here. I’m a sucker for warm, sunny, light-drenched photos. I’m so glad you’re participating in our Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge. I certainly enjoy looking through your photos each week. Have a great day!
