Leave it to me to mess the easiest of themes up.<\/p>\n

Well, I didn’t mess up the theme, per say. Rather, I messed up the posting! I’ve worked a bunch lately and with Halloween being on the 31st, I totally lost my thoughts. And by the time I remembered … I was already at work.<\/p>\n

Go figure.<\/p>\n

Alas, better late than never! And I always leave the linkup live for seven days, so hopefully that helps.<\/p>\n

I’ve also been slowly catching up on visiting and commenting past challenges I missed. I still have a few more to go, but there’s been some great posts!<\/p>\n

All that being said, it’s time to see what this month has brought us. I do look forward to seeing what others did for this theme! Here is my five for the month:<\/p>\n

1. Sunrise<\/strong><\/p>\n

I went to the Jersey shore at the beginning of the month and several shots from this challenge are from that trip. I got up uber early one of the days to catch a sunrise. Totally worth it. There will be another shot from that shoot further down.<\/p>\n

2. Perfect weather
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I always visit South Jersey in the fall because … less people. It’s usually cooler, but still nice. But this early October weekend brought perfect weather — mainly blue skies and in the 70s. I had to go buy a bathing suit so I could get closer to the water and not worry if it washed up on me.<\/p>\n

3. A great season
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the nights in Jersey … Ocean City had fireworks, so took a trip up to catch them. The tripod I had was fighting with me, so this ended up being done by hand …and I loved the look of it!<\/p>\n

4. Before the sunrise
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I loved the colors in this shot. It was before the sunset, but as the light started to be more noticeable.<\/p>\n

5. Cameron!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cameron is back! Went and saw him at his Sunday soccer camps. It’s always fun to watch him. So. Much. Energy.<\/p>\n

There are my five and I look forward to seeing what others had this month!<\/p>\n
