Photography Challenge: Textures

So, it has been a LONG time since I have posted about my photography challenges. I still receive these each week but I have been busy or just putting them off lately (Laziness!!)....But I'm trying to get myself back in the routine in doing the Photography Assignments and Photography Challenges every weekend.

Last week the challenge was Textures. I was out taking pictures of our tree in the backyard and found a couple good ones for this challenge to use!

This is the texture from the tree.

 This leaf was just hanging out on the tree so I got a close up so you could see the texture from it as well.

Leaves Leaves Leaves....

I have really been enjoying watching our big tree in the backyard change daily. It's so pretty! We are going to have a ton of leaves once they all decide to fall off, but I can't wait to see them all over our yard. :)

Thursday night I decided to take some pictures of the leaves that have already fell off. I just love all the fall colors!

These are the leaves that have fell on the ground already. Aren't they pretty so far?!

 This is one of my fav's I took Thursday night. 

 This is the top of the tree, the leaves are starting to fall from the top. So I thinking if it keeps that up the top will be bare and the rest will have leaves. LOL.

 I can't wait for this whole tree to turn red! It's going to be so pretty!

Here is our tree in the front yard. It hasn't started changing a whole lot but it's working on it. I need to take some more pictures of the full tree. These pictures are just of the top of it. 

I thought the sunset was pretty and this was just a cool picture that I captured.

 Here is the top of the tree out front. You can see where just the top is starting to change. I will try and get more pictures of the full tree so you can see how big this one is as well. We are going to have a ton of leaves between the backyard tree and the front yard one!

The trees are turning....

The one thing I love about Fall is watching the trees change color! There such pretty trees out there that change to such pretty colors! I could spend all day taking pictures of the beautiful trees.

This year we finally have our own trees that we can watch change colors and see how pretty they become in the Fall. Last weekend when I was outside I noticed the tree in the backyard was starting to change to a pretty red. I was so excited that we had a tree changing and it's going to be so pretty when it's done changing! I can't wait for it, but we will have ton of leaves, LOL. 

This picture was taken Sunday 10/7/2012

These were taken 10/9/2012 (just a few days later) And you can so see the difference I love it! 

And these were taken today with the sun shining on it 10/10/2012

I need to keep an eye on the front one as well. I noticed today that it's slowly starting to change too! :)
