Daily photo challenge - week 20 is complete

Week 20's theme was autumn.

In true autumn style the elements (the two-year-old kind and the weather)
played against me this week.

We went to Cornwall Park and I had visions of 
Sarah playing in the gorgeous leaves.
Instead she wanted to tidy up by picking the leaves up off the path 
and putting them back in the garden.
What kid goes to the park to tidy up?!?!
(Photography 101 - never work with kids)

The weather meant it was too dark by the time we got home in the evening
to play outside (Sarah with her toys and me with the camera).

I had visions of autumn photos I wanted to attempt 
but it just never happened
..........maybe tomorrow - the day after the autumn theme.

Here are this week's pics.

Daily photo challenge - week 18 is complete

What did I learn this week???

I really should take my camera just about everywhere.
Murphy's Law says the days I didn't take it
there was a great photo opportunity 
that I missed out on.
The days I did take it .....there was nothing much to capture.

I also learnt that equipment does matter.
Oh well....

Here are this week's pics.......
