Poppytalk + Autumn Color Week

Good morning! I'm trying my best to contribute to the Autumn Color Week pool because Poppytalk's color weeks are highlights of each year for me behind the camera. I get so inspired by them. I wish I could take a week off of work just to focus on color week! Alas, I can't. I did manage to put the Noodle and some of the his classmates to work for me yesterday for yellow Tuesday though.

I joined them for their first field trip of the year, a walk to Laurelhurst Park to observe and sketch. This was the best school day of the year so far in my opinion. I was really grateful I could basically take a half-day off of work to attend. The sun came out, it was warm and beautiful. I was so happy to be there for my boy.

I will add things to the Poppytalk Flickr pool as often as I can and you can check out the new and growing set throughout the week. Some images you've seen, some you haven't but in any case I love to see them collected together in a wave of yellow orange grey and brown. (I completely missed red on Monday).

P.S. On a totally unrelated note, I haven't completely forgotten about my little giveaway. I hadn't thought that all the way through with my traveling, etc. so I'm just a 'lil behind on life still. In fact, if anyone still wants to toodle over and enter, go for it! I'll catch up! Promise. :)
