An Autumn Field Trip

 Hi everyone,

Finally, back to say hello and to catch up. The summer was, well, hot and dry. Much hotter than anything we have experienced before. Early mornings or later evenings were, at times, a good time for a stroll.

Autumn has arrived and it is lovely. We still have a lot of leaves of the trees. Usually by Hallowe'en the leaves have fluttered away.

Made it to Pumpkin Inferno this year. A magical, spectacular event! 

Apparently, everything is carved by hand. Can't imagine how long it takes to carve and then wire the lights, and then install everything. On the night we went, it was sold out.

The inferno just keeps getting better and better. So good, too, that nothing scary jumps out at you. Yes, I am a scaredy cat. 

The photos were taken with a cell phone because my big camera was taking in too much light, and I couldn't find a suitable spot to sit down and make the needed adjustments. (Just as well because at this point there's no way to transfer them to the main computer.)

The main computer needs a new power supply—perhaps. My son needs to check it out for sure. So I am limping along on an iPad, which is working well. Could never complete a post using the I pad. Must be the new updates.

The village venue was sectioned in categories, and I tried hard not to get people in the photos, so this post will be a random showing from here and there.

          In case you are interested here are a few photos of  the Inferno from 2017 

   

                                                            Love this photo

                                            So loved the lights and pumpkins in the trees.

                                           There were hundreds of carved pumpkins all over the village.                                                          No two faces were the same.      

                                       

                                                                           
                                The cat category was fun. Cats everywhere, including the roof.         

                        Unfortunately, several photos are blurry, so just a few pics of the cats.
