Harvest Festivals and a Hint of Hollywood Horror

I’m diving into Songography this week to mix it up with my Scavenger Hunt Sunday.  To help with this week’s entries I had lots to do, I spared you 95% of my Haunted House pictures…but included one since I was desperate for a pink picture. Everything else was from our Harvest Festival and mine & hubbies anniversary.

1. M is For…
Molly, of course. Couldn’t do this prompt without my beautiful girl.
M is for Molly

It’s also for Moon…loved the moon sitting amongst the sunset-lit clouds.

2.What you Saw Today
Pumpkins. Lots of pumpkins at the festival.

And a small plane flying low over the festival.

3. Corner
Another mantis paid us a visit this week, this time he hung out on the corner of my front stoop, posing for shots.

I shot this one “from the hip” and loved the cockeyed angle and the way it caught the corner of the bin of gourds.

4. Pink
I loved the pink silks I found on some of the corn in the maize-maze…most of it had turned black, but some were gorgeously pink.

And then there was this guy’s creepy pink mouth at The Children’s Museum’s Haunted Hollywood exhibit.

5. Hands
Kennedy loved that she could hold the little pumpkins in her hands.

After 11 years of marriage we still like to hold hands at dinner.

Look Out Any Window by Bruce Hornsby:

Lyrics that moved me were: There’s a man workin’ in a field
See’s the rain and it’s burning
He’s saying this can’t be real
Oh as he sees the color of the fields turnin

This time of year there are any number of farmers working out in the fields around here.  I didn’t have my camera with me when I happened to stumble upon it, but I thought these shots I got at the fall festival captured the essence of it:
