Welcome to another installment of my challenge and reminder to myself to take photos somewhat regularly. I'm not a photographer, but I enjoy taking everyday photos of things I find interesting or want to remember later, and I find that I notice interesting things when I'm intentionally watching for them. Having some prompts that are open to interpretation has helped me pay a little more attention to what's around me. Every two weeks I have a few words and phrases that I'm focusing on, and I try to find opportunities to take pictures of these things each week.

harvest - I was about to give up on this prompt, and then my husband brought some harvest items home to use for fall decor.
gold - we were able to briefly stop by the community Diwali celebration and it was so sparkly and colorful! Lots of gold, but the only photo I took is of this kids' craft table with its centerpiece of gold lamps.

on my plate (quarterly) - this was not my dinner plate, to be clear, but a tray of butter tarts I made for our Thanksgiving dessert. And a white squash impossible pie as well.
And a few bonus photos:
Our friends that came for Thanksgiving dinner brought me this kitchen towel - I love it!
We smoked the turkey for Thanksgiving and it turned out pretty good.
On Sunday morning we were accidentally locked out of the church and I took a photo after I texted someone to let us in. LOL
This past weekend we went to Blackhand Gorge and did some hiking. The main trail is closed at present, but there are two smaller trails we could walk on. One took us up along the ridge of the gorge, with not many views, but we spotted a couple of oil pumps (pumpjacks) and some very good fall colors.
On the lower trail, we walked up to the old train tunnel and also saw what was left of the river locks.
And I felt like we needed a goofy old people selfie for our collection.
I am sharing my photos every other Thursday, along with my prompts for the next two weeks. You can use all or some of the prompts for your own photo posts, or none of the prompts and just link up a post featuring your photos. Simple rules: Your posts must be family-friendly; the photos must be your own; and the post must be mostly photos. If you do share I'd appreciate a mention and link to A Fresh Cup of Coffee on your post.
Everyday Images will continue in 2025, every other Thursday, and the link-up is open for two weeks.
