Pumpkins, sitting on my front porch
Edinburgh, Scotland, 2009
I love carving pumpkins, though haven't done it for the past few years. It seems kind of silly, when I live on top of a mountain by myself, and somehow I can't see the dogs getting too excited about the whole thing. But still, it's fun. Maybe next year...
Love this shot! Something about jacko'lanterns that is sooooo Halloween. Enjoy your night, friend. Candy corn and all ;-).
ReplyDeleteIn Scotland, carving pumpkins wasn't really a thing they did, so when I started doing it people would walk past the garden gate, bring their children, and oooh and ahhh every year. It was really fun and so cool. My Scottish husband said when he was a child, they carved big turnips as there weren't any pumpkins, at least in Edinburgh.
DeleteAnd hey...don't eat too many of those little trick or treat candy bars!! ;D
I agree with Angie. I love jack-o-lanterns!!!
ReplyDeleteI know! What's not to love? Gooey guts and sculpting cool faces, then lighting up the dark with the orange glow...perfect.
