It’s a gloomy Sunday afternoon as the clouds hang heavy over the sky.
From time to time, the burden of rain is released as it overflows to the ground.
Little drops that gently dot the sidewalks as the leaves fly by my feet. The cool
temperature forces me to find refuge in the warmth of a sweater; it’s all I need.
I love these fall afternoons, when nature decides to draw
sunsets on the ground with beautiful reds, oranges and yellows.
To me, it is the perfect time to go outside and enjoy the outdoors,
drenching my soul with all the beauty that surrounds me.
So when asked if I was interested in testing
Canon’s new Rebel SL1 DSLR,
I knew exactly what I wanted to capture.
You’ll have to wait to see what we did, but
I will say I absolutely love this camera.
It’s the smallest and lightest DSLR
in the market with amazing features.
But what I’m so very excited about,
is being able to offer you the opportunity to
WIN your very own
Canon EOS Rebel SL1
with 18-55mm IS STM Lens {MSRP $779.99}
and a Canon EF 40mm f2.8 STM Lens {MSRP $229.99}.
Total Prize MSRP: $1009.98!
Please follow the easy Rafflecopter instructions to enter and Good Luck!
Want to increase your chances of winning? visit The DIY Dreamer who is also having a Rebel giveaway(Canada only)
The small print:
Contest will close at 11:59pm EST on November 10th, 2013. The winner will be announced the morning of November 11th and will have 48 hours to claim their prize. If the prize is not claimed within that time period, a new winner will be selected. This contest is valid for residents of Canada (except Quebec) and the U.S. only.

I am a follower AND I NEED THIS! Jennifer over at The Old Painted Cottage was going to feature my home as a Cottage of the Month but said the quality of my photos was POOR! She suggested a Canon Rebel!! I cannot afford one right now BUT WOULD LOVE TO WIN ONE! The editor over at Coutnry Sampler loved the photos of my home but also didnt love the quality-she is sending out a photographer to do scouting shots for her this spring-it is hard to lose out because of a crappy camera! LOL PLEEZ PICK ME!

Hi Lucy, I’m a NEW follower! I just wanted to let you know that your pictures are amazing! So gorgeous and vivid! I found your blog from a fellow blogger friend on Twitter who posted about the giveaway on “The DIY Dreamer” and then I saw it was only for Canadian residents…and so Christine linked to your blog for the American giveaway. I’m really looking forward to perusing your blog before I have to run to my next class here at the university. Also, I would love to have the chance to win a camera for my wedding & honeymoon photos since I just got engaged to my wonderful boyfriend/fiance of 9 years! So, even if I don’t win the camera, I have found a nice new blog, and am still the happiest lady in Texas!

Thank you for the once in a life time chance to win this awesome Canon Camera!! I love Canon’s ! I’d give anything in the world to win this!! I’ve always owned Canon’s and I just love them and I think they are the best of all the cameras! I would give this as a gift to my Granddaughter who is getting married tomorrow but lives a thousand miles away from me. This would make a wonderful Wedding present for her and a great way to stay in touch with her. She loves photography, but her cell phone pictures aren’t so great.
Also I wanted to say that your photos are so beautiful too! Oh and the Fall photos are amazing!!! So crisp and soft at the same time! That’s what I LOVE about Canon!
Love your blog! Thank you!!!

New follower of yours craftberrybush on gfc publicly as J Cutshaw mamawj What a lovely blog name. And we are all gifted with something unique, I think yours may be to write & express words beautifully because your introduction to this post is so warm & inviting. I felt like I was walking through those colorful leaves to join in a fall picnic. Your other nitch must be with the Canon camera, these are awesome pictures that appear as though I could reach out & touch the objects. Great post. Glad I found you on a share from a fellow blogger friend. Going now to join your other social networks, to stay updated. Enjoy your fall, look forward to more shared post.
