TEN ON TEN: NOVEMBER 2013.

Happy tenth, friends! After taking a month off from participating in Ten on Ten, let's just say it would be a huge understatement to say that I'm excited to be back. That month off from shooting made me realize just how much I treasure taking photos throughout my day. It doesn't have to be anything special, but carrying my camera with me really opens my eyes to all the beauty that is around me.

And who knew I could be so deep on a Sunday evening?

Anyway, this month's theme is A Full Harvest and with all of the beautiful fall colors and sunny skies this afternoon, I think it's safe to say that it's been a full harvest indeed.

I hope you had a splendid weekend, friends. And if you linked up with Rebekah, let me know! I'd love to check out your set.

Linking up with the lovely Rebekah here.

p.s. I may or may not have added a few more photos into this month's set. Let's just say I'm making up for not participating last month, okay?

    1. Thanks, girl! Our church is actually doing a study on Ephesians right now--what a coincidence! There are some wise, wise words in that book, that's for sure! :)

      And those were my faves, too! I took a few of these while on a walk with my mom and I couldn't get enough of all of the fall colors I kept seeing!

    1. Thank you, Charity! That was one of my fave photos, too. It was one of those hold it close to the ground and hope for the best shots, to tell you the truth. :) And bread is definitely my love language as well. Saying that I'm a carboholic would be a true understatement!

    1. Thank you, Kari! That helicopter seed photograph was another one of my faves, too. It brought back so many childhood memories when I saw it and the lighting was perfect, so it had to be included in my set. :) Thanks for stopping by!

  16. What a great verse, I definitely overlook Ephesians way too often! Aaaalso what lens are you using?? All this blurry goodness is amazing!

    1. Same!! My church is actually studying Ephesians right now so re-reading those passages again as a church was just what I needed. :)

      And I use my 50mm f/1.8 lens. It's often called the nifty fifty since it doesn't cost too much and really gets good results--especially the bokeh from the low aperture! What kind of camera/lenses do you have?
