2011 Autumn Challenge

About The 2011 Autumn Challenge

In a world where one family has cameras and they ALL love the season, the autumn challenge has been born. The goal is to document the gorgeous environment around them, every day if possible, and to take note of all the subtle changes that autumn has wrought. Photography is the medium. The incredible colors and views God created is the subject. Go forth and photograph.

Remember me??

So…I had something new to photograph this afternoon…ICE! Neat! We still have 15 days left of Autumn, officially. So I’m going to make a (probably vain) attempt to post plenty of pics. Yes I am!

AUTUMN???

I think the Autumn Challenge for 2011 may be officially over!

The weather was so beautiful, on Friday afternoon we moved the game-playing outside!

My final 2011 pic – falling yellow leaves

November 27th, 2011 by Dave

The leaves all fell in my neighborhood this morning, and it was amazingly beautiful. While I don’t think this picture captured any falling, they really were. It was like a bright yellow snow. Amazing job, God!

West Texas Snowman!

November 21st, 2011 by Jacque

This blew into our yard from the cotton field across the road & Emily thought it looked like a snowman — I have to agree!

On A Clear Day — NOT!

November 20th, 2011 by Jacque

This picture was taken a few weeks ago.  We had a beautiful view of the cotton field one day, then the next day the wind & dirt blew — so this was the view then!

Here is where I spent my week…How was yours?

November 17th, 2011 by Daniel

This picture was taken as high as I got up San Antonio Mountain.  I almost hate to say that I was only 1/3 of the way to the top of the mountain but I was still pretty high up there.  You may have click on the picture to see it clearly but there are 4 trucks in the middle of the picture that will help you gain perspective. 

Here are a few of the reasons we were there:

The arrowhead picture was taken exactly how I found the point.  I did not pick it up until after the archeologists documented it so there is no telling how long this point sat in this exact same position and place.  (Well – I do know it was not more than 1,500 years based on what the experts say.)

The archeology in this area is very unique.  This picture shows just a small sampling of the petroglyphs at this archeological site.  These glyphs are located on the flat of one of the mountains probably 120′ from the bottom.  In this general area dozens of petroglyphs have been found and recorded.  Part of the appeal of this site is the fact that very few people have ever seen it.  In fact very few people even know that this site exists.  The remote geographic location of the sites, the actual location of the glyphs on the mountain, and the fact that these locations are not open to the public has kept the archeological sites in this area almost undisturbed.  2 new glyph sites were found around the point of this mountain on Tuesday morning a little before I arrived on site.  It should be interesting to see what all is eventually found in this area but for now enjoy this small sampling of 1,000 to 1,500 year old works of art that few people have ever seen.

And, here are a couple of pictures mainly for Daniel, but I thought everyone else would enjoy them too. This is my new Pizzecci guitar!

what a moron

November 11th, 2011 by Dave

This is all I have to post for yesterday. While not a fall picture, I did technically take this one with the youth ministry’s photobooth stuff.

A Pear-y Pretty Afternoon

And you can’t blame me for starting the pun-a-palooza.
