Everyday Images Mid-October

I'm joining Kym at A Fresh Cup of Coffee today for her Everyday Images link up. She posts new photo prompts every two weeks (on Thursdays) and leaves the link up for the whole two weeks, so lots of time to make it happen on your own blog. 

I got a new phone for my birthday a few weeks ago and the camera can do a lot. I need to spend some time learning all the bells and whistles but I enjoy these bi-weekly prompts to encourage and remind me to take more pictures. The most recent prompts are-

listen~matching~clock~current season (quarterly)~dishes~orange

I found a couple of these to be somewhat challenging, but that's part of the fun.  

Listen-

I've mentioned before that hubs and I are reading through the Bible this year, and we're actually listening as opposed to reading. We use the Bible app and we're in awe of the narrator and his ability to pronounce long lists of seemingly un-pronouncable names and places. 

After the daily reading we listen to Tara Leigh Cobble's podcast called The Bible Recap where she helps bring clarity to whatever was read that day. 

Every day looks different here and sometimes we sit with our coffee and listen. If we have somewhere to go that's a bit of a drive we'll listen in the car. I actually like that because there are fewer distractions. Last week we listened on our drive into the mountains. Day 284!! So happy we've stuck with it. 

Taking the word listen in a different direction...we are loving our backyard waterfall. 

The sound is bliss. 

Matching

I had a hard time with this one and resorted to taking a picture of two matching catalogs we got in the mail this week. They arrived on the same day too, and I have no idea why they're sending us two???  I have ordered from this company several times, but I never order via the catalog. 

Do you still get magazines? How about catalogs? Do you ever order from a catalog, or are you like me and you go straight to the website? I suppose the catalogs remind me of companies I don't think about on a regular basis and that's probably a good thing. I do enjoy browsing catalogs of all kinds and sometimes find gift inspiration there. 

In case you're wondering this company's Kringles are yummy. Not a paid endorsement, just an opinion. Carry on. 

Possibly a stretch here, but I also took a photograph at the restaurant we ate in last weekend, that I thought might work with this prompt. We ate at the bar and I liked the symmetry of the matching glass hangers on either side of the bar. 

I spy dishes on the counter, and now that I look at it, those bartenders kind of match too. 

Clock-

There's a clock in front of an old hotel downtown and while at the fall fest I snapped a picture as we walked by. Jogged by? The streets were packed with people and I was trying to keep up with hubs and friends who were on a mission to get to the next stage. (I wrote about the fall fest here-The Weekend Roundup)

Current season-dishes-orange-

I'm going to combine these three prompts because I feel like my pictures suggest that. For instance, is this our current season or is it orange? You decide-

Here's another-

We belong to a wine club that meets once a month and I snapped this picture at the October dinner-

I hit the trifecta with this next picture. These jars sit in a corner of my kitchen and I change them out seasonally. Right now they're saying fall. And orange. And dishes. 

I got this mug last year when I was Boo-ed by a neighbor. Does your neighborhood do this? You find a bag of fall/Halloween goodies on your front porch from an anonymous neighbor and you take the little ghost out of the bag and hang it on your mailbox so everyone knows you've already been hit. 

Then you put together a bag,  pick up a ghost from the neighbor who organizes it all, and leave the bag you made on one of your neighbor's porches. It has to be a neighbor who doesn't already have a ghost on their mailbox because the ghost is how you know who's been Boo-ed and who hasn't.  I love this mug and have my afternoon tea in it this time of year. 

Also, everyone has doorbell cameras so it's not as easy to be anonymous as it used to be lol. Still fun though. 

Happy fall y'all!
