The first day of fall is always a magical day. I spend the last few weeks of summer longing for cooler temperatures and nature's painted leaves. On the first day of fall, I always celebrate it with morning walk. This year, I took little Madison, 2 hats and my favorite camera with us. It wasn't as cool as I'd like it and my fields are too still green, but it was a nice time to slow down, hold hands and talk about the great Fall changes coming soon. Enjoy a few fun photos to commemorate the start of what hopes to be an exciting Fall season in southern Alabama.

As a photographer, the force of nature I'm in constant battle with is WIND. It's blowing hair, both my tiny clients and mine. It's blowing the tall grass in my field of dreams, just outside our studio. In general, we're at a constant battle for sharp and crispy photos.
Enjoy a few from a fun shoot I call, Boy vs. Wind and Sister.

This week's theme of "It's in the Eyes" or the newly modified theme of "The Eyes have it" proved that eyes are indeed the window to soul. Our amazing pool of photographers were able to find all kinds of eyes to photograph, the old, the young, pets, insects and yes, there were some creative spins on the eye itself; like needles & potatoes. Overall, this was a great week filled with beautiful photography. I am so proud to be a part of this group.
The year is flying past us, with only 13 weeks left, don't hold anything back - this is the home stretch! There is a link to each artist below the photograph, If you you like the photo, send them some love - everyone needs a little encouraging pat on the back, go ahead...Pat away!
Now, on to our top ten, as always, in no particular order.

And Now one to Ellenburg Photography's Photo for this week's theme. Here is a shot of my tiny dancer. Madison started ballet class this past week and loves to twirl and spin. This is the birth of my "Degas" Phase, so buckle up, I'm not stopping anytime soon.
Week 39's MCP ACTIONS Project 52 theme is "Man vs. Nature" - This is going to be fun. I know we will see plenty of great nature shots and beautiful landscapes. I'd love to see some surfing too. Remember, our weather is wacky, who knows what mother nature will throw your way to bring you the perfect shot this week.
Haven't joined Project 52 yet? What's stopping you? Visit www.flickr.com/groups/MCP-Project52 or www.MCPactions.com for more information. You won't regret it. This is one fun group.
Wishing you a great week filled with family, fun and photography! Happy Snapping!

This Week's image for Project 52 was inspired by our new adventure in dance. Young 3.75 Madison, started Ballet & Tap class at the Brand new Studio 43. Madison, hates costumes in general, but love wearing her dance wear. Thank God for small miracles. Enjoy this one ... more fun shots to come.

This week I had the pleasure of writing for MCP Action's National blog relating to Project 52 from the perspective of a participant. This was a lot of fun for me for many reasons. Mostly because I enjoy writing my own blog about my Project 52 experiences, but also it was fun to work with another photographer on this project, Catherine Cella of Joyful Reflections Photography.
Week 37 was an amazing week of Momentous moments both big to our nation with the anniversary of 9/11, but big to us individually. You guys really went out there and found some great stuff.
Here is our Photo for week 37. It's a shot of my middle boy, Grant, at our local college football game.
Many thanks for all the views and comments on our Flickr Board. He really does look like this at the end of every game, except sometimes, he wears two foam fingers.
So was writing the blog easy? No way, remember I'm in the midst of a FULL-ON main floor remodel, and I now have to wear shoes at home at all times. But we made a plan. {Plans are good} Catherine and I talked and emailed all week. We broke the blog into sections. We did our Bio's on Monday, Blog writing on Tuesday & Wednesday, and on Thursday we submitted our "It's in the Eyes" photo for the launch of Week 38. I chose this photograph of my twinkling in-house Ballerina, Madison.
Friday morning, we chatted on the phone and picked the first 5 photos, and later that afternoon we picked the last 5 photos. We submitted everything to the official MCP blog moderators to put it all together and work their magic every week. Then I went to the mall. {I love the mall. I love the sights, the smell of Cookies & Coffee wafting through every store, just all of it} Not to mention, Friday night is date night for my husband and I - yep, I love Fridays and Michael Ellenburg. Anyway, while shopping, Catherine called and said that 5 of the selected photos were not downloadable for participation -RATS! So I went home {a feat that easily saved me $200, but I did manage to buy a snazzy new fall hat to match my grey pea-coat, but that is neither here nor there.} While I was driving home, Catherine was at home going the extra mile. She contacted the non-downloadable photograph owners via email and invited them to change their status to participate. Wow. Impressive. And guess what? They happily did it. (See what I'm talking about with that pat on the back, people need and they love it - I'd have done it if someone asked me) Hooray, we met the 7pm deadline.
Also, sidebar...if you enjoy reading the MCP Actions blog early Saturday morning with your steaming hot cup of coffee, as I do, and you say to yourself..."Hey my photo was just amazing, why didn't they pick it?" Go to your privacy settings and see if you permit the photo you entered to be downloadable, sometimes that's all it was. Just a tip. (If that gave you drama, drop me an email & I'll walk you through the change)
Long story short, of the 5 we were asked to reselect, we only had to pick 2 new photos. Not too shabby. Every photo selected this week was impressive to us, and moved one or both of us in some way. Many thanks to all the photographers that put themselves out there very week for endless judging amongst your peers. Every photo teaches someone somewhere something. Know that you are appreciated when you participate.

Here's a list of who we were really impressed with this week:
First Time To Bat By Catcher In My Eye {Deb is a lot of fun to follow, you'll like her too}
Momentous Moment By Karen Gibas {Karen shares my love for college football, specifically her baby's team. Karen, I might have been opening weeping in the stands as a MOM, and missed this moment completely. Just sayin. Nice capture}
Momentous Moment 37/52 - Signing of the Constitution By katypaskett {Katy, I love how supportive your family is. Your photos are so fun to me every week}
a time for reflection By anuragyagnik {This photograph was so moving. Anurag took many photos of 9/11 activity this week. All were very impressive}
36/52 By Danielle~Marie {I don't usually enjoy collages or borders, but you made it work. Nice job here}
111 By christy*b {this photo made me smile} christyblanchphotography.wordpress.com/2011/09/10/startin...
And the elusive, missing number 10 was ...
MCP Project 52 Week 37/52 - Momentous Moments By Fur Will Fly {I am in love with the yellows in this shot, not to mention this cool hand}
This week's theme of "It's in the Eyes" is going to be amazing. If eyes are indeed the window to the soul, I can't wait to see the fantastic things this fun group of photographers will get out there and capture. Project 52 really is a great way to get out there, to keep shooting and to NEVER let dust settle on your camera or hold back you're potential. Please be sure to visit the work of this week's photographers and send them a little pat on the back, everyone loves and sometimes we NEED it too ;-) If you haven't joined us yet, what are you waiting for? We are a fun group and you will be welcomed. Visit http://www.flickr.com/groups/MCP-Project52/ and sign up today.
'Til next week, wishing you a wonderful week of Fun, Family and Photography! Happy Snapping!
