Almost Wordless Wednesday

Around this time of year, there is a natural phenomena called “Frost Flowers” that occurs in the field beside our house. According to Wikipedia, it is “name commonly given to a condition in which thin layers of ice are extruded from long-stemmed plants in autumn or early winter. The thin layers of ice are often formed into exquisite patterns that curl into "petals" that resemble flowers.”
The frost flowers are so pretty and delicate and I wanted to share a few photos with you.
I also took a few macro shots using my iPhone and Olloclip lens.

This is the last week of the Fall Nurture Photography Challenge and the theme is…there really is no theme. We are just supposed to use some of our favorite shots from this fall. Last weekend was beautiful here in South Central Kentucky, so I took a few new photos with my iPhone while C & I were walking the dogs. The light this time of year is just amazing!

Sorry I missed out on last week’s challenge, but I just didn’t get it done. This week’s prompts are brown/tabletop so I went out searching for some natural brown. It is easy to find right now!

Nurture Photography Challenge

This week’s prompts are orange/fiery so I chose orange. Our leaves haven’t really started to turn yet so I had to search for a few orange things.
The persimmon tree in the fence row behind our house is loaded with fruit this year.
This fallen branch had a pretty orange/yellow fungus growing on it, if fungus can be pretty.
It wouldn’t be fall without a few pumpkins, now would it?

Thoughtful Thursday-Local Traveler Edition

Fall is my second favorite time of the year (after spring) and I especially love to visit orchards to get fresh picked apples to munch on. Every year, I like to try to go to a different one and this year it was local.
My aunt, grandmother and I visited Hinton’s Orchard in Larue County, Kentucky a short time ago and I highly recommend it.
Just look at the loaded apple trees that you pass by driving to their store:
Not only that, but they have pumpkins and gourds for sale:
When you go in the store, you are bombarded with such good smells…apples, apple cider, baked goods, jams and jellies just to name a few. They even offer locally grown and processed meats which I love.
Hinton’s also has several attractions to keep the little ones entertained as well. You can take a trip out to their pumpkin patch, walk through their corn maze or take a hayride. It is all so much fun and I highly recommend stopping by!
