Fall ... SOOC

This week's them for Shoot & Edit/Good to WOW is fall.  I love so many things about fall.  The beautiful colors, the cooler temps, pumpkins, hay rides, our tradition of attending a local farm tour.  I could go on and on, but I won't.  I'll just show you the few SOOC photos I chose for this week's fall theme ...

The kids and I went on a hay ride at a local farm yesterday afternoon.  It was pretty warm, which made a beautiful day for a hay ride.  We weren't all bundled up wondering when it would be over so we could get warmed up.  :)  

At first when I saw this picture, I was bummed because no one was looking at me.  But the more I look at it, the more I like the fact that it is a reflection of them just enjoying the scenery on our hay ride.  This is actually at the end of our ride, when we were heading back.  It was hard to take pictures while we were in the fields because of the bumpy ride.  :)

Oh, and the little boy in red was the owner's son who joined us for the ride.  He's in first grade at Nick's and Alex's school and took an instant liking to Nick.  He was Nick's shadow the whole time we were there.  It was sweet.

We got a few of these cute mini pumpkins while on the Farm Tour on Saturday.

And I had this picture in my head of Alex handing me a bouquet of fallen leaves.  This isn't exactly what I had pictured, but I like it anyway.

But this photo is my absolute favorite.  I love the tilt of his head and the fact that the sun shone through the tree just enough to put that sparkle in his eye.  And even though the focus on his other eye is a little soft, I just love this photo of my sweet cowboy!

To see more great fall SOOC photos, head over to Jill's.

Photo of the Day: September 25

September 25
ISO 400, f/5.6, 1/1250s, 18-105mm lens
The kids and I went to Pumpkin Palooza at a local farm this afternoon.  The boys had fun bouncing in the bouncy house they had set up and we went on a hay ride.  While on the hay ride, we stopped at their pumpkin patch.  The kids each wanted their picture taken with this huge pumpkin.  Nicholas is being his usual "awesome" self while posing for his picture.  He just makes me smile.
