1. In Disguise 
   
   K-man in his storm trooper mask that we brought back from NY for him. 
   
   
2. Crisp  
    
   Leaves…and although the picture doesn’t really show it, the air was crisp this morning, too.  I nearly froze.  
   
   
3. Fall Colors
   
   Somewhere over NY…our plane was coming in for the landing in Rochester. 
   
   
4. A Jack O’lantern
   
   This isn’t a standard jack o’lantern, but it’s a pumpkin and it looks like it IS a lantern.  The funny thing is that it wasn’t lit at all…it was just covered in some reflective sparkles and when I took the picture, the sparkles reflected the light and made it look like it was glowing.  =) 
   
   
5. a Shot from the Ground 
   
   Munchkin getting off the school bus.  Yes, I think the bus driver did give me a funny look.  =)
   
   
6. a Landscape
    
   Irondequoit Bay in Rochester, NY…
   
   
7. a Fall Tradition 
    
   Picking out pumpkins at the pumpkin patch… 
   
   
8. Books
    
   In the middle of a book…this is one of my absolute favorite things to do in the car…(WHEN I’M RIDING, of course ;-)  lol
   
   
9. Dining
   
   Getting ready to eat cake for my Grandma’s 85th birthday. 
   
   
10. Child/Children
    
    “She said ‘butt’!!!”
    
    
11. Faces formed in Nature (anything that looks like a face but isn’t : examples here)
    
    I looked and looked and looked….I finally gave up…this was my very last picture and KC said, just make a face on the sidewalk out of leaves or acorns or something.  LOL…so I did.  ;-)
    
    
12. Tilt-Shift Photography  (Tutorial Here) (Tilt-Shift Maker here)
     
    I’m not sure if this actually works since it wasn’t officially from an upward angle, but I can sort of imagine these being miniatures…?
    
    
13. B & W with selective coloring (Tutorial here)
    
    Street sign…kinda feels like Christmas, but it’s really October.  I think it must be the colors. 
    
    
14. Bokeh (Tutorial here)
      
    I think this qualifies…
    
    
15. Best Photo taken October 23^{rd
     
    This road was old…was made of bricks.  You could break an ankle wearing flats on this road…lol.  Too bad the bricks weren’t yellow, though.  LOL!}
    
    
16. Something from the Kitchen
    
    Buckeyes!  Sis T made them yesterday for fall festival at church. 
    
    
17. Something Vintage 
    
    Grandma’s manuscript.  She’s 85 and she wrote it out by hand and decorated it when she was young…so that’s pretty vintage. 
    
    
18. Something Creepy
    
    I just think fog rising off the water is creepy.  =)  I know it’s just fog, but still…
    
    
19. Something Golden 
     
    The leaves are definitely golden. 
    
    
20. A Self-Portrait
    
    Okay…this is my least favorite.  I couldn’t get the focus right so it’s blurry and then there’s the fact that I just don’t like pictures of me, plus I wanted something creative and this wasn’t…but oh well. 
    

And there.  It is finished.  ;-)  Yay!  And by the way, today is day 31…I did it!  I posted every single day for an entire month!  Go self!  =)
