Part of my back yard... Kentucky and Alabama have a lot of features in common. Beautiful when the leaves turn... I don't have a picture I can load, but there is an area in my front yard we call "The Park" that looks very much like your photo. Has a bench that we just go sit under the trees sometimes. We also feed the deer there... (they are "off limits"...)

Dan, somehow I just can't see you sitting down long enough to feed yourself, much less a deer.
Ted, you started this topic to late for me. I'm already in the brown, yellow, and gone part of fall, in my part of Kentucky.

Lynn, don't let that discourage you from participating, buddy! There are many aspects of fall besides colorful leaves that you can take pics of. Think of all the things you enjoy doing during the fall, or whatever represents "fall" where you live, and any of them can be a potential photo subject if you get creative!
I have no idea what subject I'll end up using for my entry. I'll just wait and see what shot opportunity presents itself during the month. To me, the pursuit and uncertainty is part of the fun, just like in hunting.
Good luck!

I'm not whinning here, I just would like to have gotten the picture when the leaves were at their peak. I may still try to get this picture if I can, but either the sun hasn't been in the right place or clouds and haze have ruined the shots.

No worries, brother; I never thought you were whining. I just wanted to encourage you to keep your eyes open and realize that some of the best photos are the less obvious subjects where the photographer "thinks outside the box" and gets creative. We'd like to see as many people as possible participating in the photo contest each month. The beauty of it is you can take a camera with you virtually anywhere, so you never know what opportunities you might be presented with.

And truthfully you don't have to use an SLR camera. That water contest this year that SEMO shooter started. I took that picture of the Pelican on the dock with my cell phone.

SNOW should be for winter not fall. Get your seasons unscrambled. Its too cold to be fall. BRRRRRR.

I got a great cell phone pic yesterday. It's not a fall pic, but it's a happen chance wildlife pic. We've got a BIG hawk hanging around my area of the port, and he's not afraid of people, so I've been able to get within 4-5 feet of him and get several pics of him. Yesterday he had just caught a mouse and I was trying to get the pic and just when I snapped it, he took off. I got a head on pic of both wings straight up above him as he started his take off. SVT posted the picture for me below. It's still not my fall entry, but getting this picture I just had to share it. Plus it made this old man learn something about using my smartass phone.

If you like your photo and it fits the theme for you, post it! Fall has a different reality in different locations. It gets cold and sometimes snows during fall, and wildlife sightings and fall go together like peas and carrots! Most of the monthly contest themes give you quite a bit of leeway. They are open to your own interpretation...within reason, of course. Skylar and I started the monthly photo contest with the hope that we'd get much more participation than we've had so far, so don't hold back!
