Work Photography Club: Session 2

This month's theme for my photography club is FALL. The lovely Pacific Northwest is transitioning from Summer to Winter. The nights are ending earlier, the wind is picking up, the leaves are changing colors and MY fireplace has been on a number of times already (sorry Branden--I know it can be overly toasty!) As much as it saddens me to see the golden orb in the sky disappear, I'm finding myself enjoying the crisp air, the winter festivies that are commencing, and the endless oranges/reds/burgundys that fill the trees. Well, that is until they go bare. Then we welcome Springtime with open arms.

When starting this project, I knew I would take pictures of the pumpkins sprawling out over the QFC parking lot. I also knew I wanted to take pictures of leaves, lots of leaves. If anyone knows me at all, they know I love bacon, yes bacon. BUT more importantly, they know I LOVE the color orange and any variant that comes with it. Apparently orange is a power color. And, orange "encourages socialization, stimulates activity, and stimulates appetite." Well isn't that a coincidence?! 

Now to proceed with a little game. I need your help! I can only pick 3 of my images to bring to the discussion board in my photography club next week. I want your opinion--it matters! Please vote for your top 3 images presented below. Let's make this simple:

Top Row: L-R are pictures 1, 2, and 3
Middle Row: L-R are pictures 4,5, and 6
Bottom Row: L-R are pictures 7 & 8

Simply, leave a comment with your input!! It's greatly appreciated.
We ALL know I can't make a decision to save my life!
Please Vote: What are your favorite three "FALL" photographs?
Help me decide :)

I have to add that while wikepedia-ing Seattle for fun, I came across this image. With the image, reads this caption: Between October and May, Seattle is mostly or partly cloudy six out of every seven days. It made me chuckle. We get 8 whole months of mostly cloudy days. Remind me why we live here again?! :)

I vote 6 and 8 for sure and I'm torn between 1 and 2...leaning toward 2. I'm a terrible decision maker too!
