CIC 223: Autumn/Halloween

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness (https://poets.org/poem/autumn ) and Things that go Bump in the night (http://holyjoe.org/poetry/anonS.htm ).

This is a seasonal challenge. What season? Autumn/Fall of course. It's the season of turning leaves and colorful food, of reds and yellows and browns (I know we've just had a food challenge, but you can never get too much food, or at least too many pictures of food). It's also, of course, the season of Halloween, with all that brings, from carved pumpkins to candy corn to ghosts and ghouls, witches and spiderwebs, costumes and candles. Anything with even a tenuous connection to Autumn and/or Halloween is fair game for this challenge.

This will be fun - and a challenge.

Autumn in the desert - not so much. But even the rest of the country is suffering with widespread drought. Time for the hunt.

And Halloween - no kids in our community, but there should be lots of opportunity with decorations.
 


Pumpkins at a nearby farm.

Very colorful, and on theme. I've put it in Exhibition.
 
Tossed three into Exhibition.

I think I got some decent shots today using the Autumn theme. No red maples here in the desert, but a few yellows, off reds, and fall critters.

I'll post them later, and see what I like.
Here are the first two.



One might stay, one will move into Exhibition.

No real color here yet. Need some frost first. 84F predicted for tomorrow.

Same here. We don't get a lot in general, but the altitude helps a bit.

I may have to buy a pumpkin or two. The squirrels will appreciate it. And I do have that (albeit white) Spider in the garage.
 
Beautiful. It's in Exhibition.
