Since we are in October, a lot of people around the country are already seeing some great fall color. But here in Central California….not so much. However, I was able to find a few orange treasures to share with you.

Are you ready to join in on our weekly Photo Treasure Hunt? Here is what you need to know:

Link up by posting your blog post URL- not just blog URL

Link back to one of us (grab button if desired)

Visit other blogs and leave comment love.

Be sure to take note of next theme and start collecting more photos. Jill always has a fun transition photo, so be sure to visit

her blog

to see what the theme is for next week!

We reserve the right to remove any links that don’t fit the link up theme or that we find inappropriate

So over the last few weeks, we have been selecting colors as our theme. But this week, since Jill and I are both Compassion Advocates, we thought it would be fun to join in with a special photo treasure hunt that is going on right now on the Compassion blog!!

Just a couple of weeks ago, I wrote about One Meal One Day, which is the focus of the photo scavenger hunt announced on the Compassion blog. We will be searching for photos which focus on blessings, waste, need, and advocacy.

Like this photo which shows the inside of my refrigerator.

So the Photo Treasure Hunt theme for next week is….One Meal One Day!! Be sure to hop on over to the Compassion blog to get all of the details (and if you post a link to your photos in the widget on the Compassion blog, you will be entered in a contest for prizes from Compassion!) This next link up will start on Tuesday, October 29th.

In the meantime, come back and share the blog link with your orange photo treasures below:

Just a few photos to share with you this week from the Capture Your 365 photo challenge.

ISO 100, 55mm, f/5.6, 1/200 sec

Day 138 – Fresh Veggies: Obviously, these are not fresh veggies! One of the benefits of living in the California Central Valley is how much fresh produce surrounds us. For the last couple of weeks, early on Saturday mornings, I have been out picking blueberries and cherries at one of the local U-pick farms.

ISO 100, 55mm, f/5.6, 1/6 sec

Day 141 – The Perfect Gift: Oh, my husband knows when I need a little pick me up in my month!

ISO 100, 200mm, f/7.1, 1/50 sec

Day 142 – Clouds: It has been so incredibly windy here lately, there was not a cloud in the sky to photograph on this day. But we were so close to having a full moon, so I pulled out my tri-pod and took a picture of the moon instead. The picture was kind of blah when I pulled it into Lightroom, amazing what you can do by adjusting a few settings.

ISO 100, 135mm, f/5.0, 1/800 sec

Day 143 – May Flowers: I don’t have a huge vegetable garden this year, but I have planted quite a few marigolds around. Hoping they help to keep the bad bugs away.

What did you photograph this past week? It is almost June! This would be a great time to join in the Capture Your 365 photo challenge!
