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?
Please join me for:

This week’s prompts are yellow and shine so I used both and shot a photo of my yellow mum in full sunshine. The colors of fall are so saturated and intense and the light is wonderful!

I am starting a new blog challenge that relates strictly to photography instead of food and photography. It is called the Nurture Photography Challenge and it is hosted by Bumbles & Light along with Live And Love Out Loud. This week’s prompts are green/active. You can use either or both prompts so I chose green for my photo.

C & I took in the Kentucky State Fair on its last day Sunday before last and had a lot of fun. The last day is really not the best time to go to see the animals and exhibits, but we had tickets to see comedian Jeff Dunham so that is when we went. The show was great, but I did miss seeing the animals.
Most of the exhibits were still on display so we walked around for a couple of hours looking at those. I will warn you…this is going to be a photo heavy post. The balloon art was the first thing we saw upon entering and it had a UK/UofL basketball theme. When we left that night, they were popping all of the balloons.
We headed to the culinary section first and I found all of my entries in the cases. There was also some gorgeous decorated cakes as well.
We both loved the Angry Birds cupcakes. The modeling work was spot-on!
There are always beautiful award winning quilts and woodworking on display as well.
Finally…the photography. This was the winner in the category that I entered which was color nature photography.
Here I am with my entry of a wild Tom turkey in front of an old house in a field.
C found a new toy, but he didn’t get to bring it home.
The midway was still in full swing as we were leaving the Jeff Dunham show so I pulled over to get a few shots of the lit rides. The lights were so pretty!
C & I had a fun time at the Kentucky State Fair and will hopefully be back next year!
