A great example of a perfect moment of Halloween being captured by a camera...
Fog-filled, chilly night air.
Dark figures in costume.
Glowing skulls and climbing skeletons.
A holiday completely devoted to the Spooky. After all these years it still mystifies me. Probably the reason Halloween feels so new and exciting all the time. It's baffling, really. There are small artificial cemeteries on front lawns... giant spiders resting in giant spider webs - spiders with glowing red eyes. There are bats and ghoulish things hanging from strings. And sometimes... there are skeletons playing cards at a small table. Or one walking a small skeleton dog. Mystifying.
As we enter the hot months of the year, it's nice to think about these things. About IT coming - HALLOWEEN. About pumpkins growing and corn getting tall and crunchy. And about millions of big green leaves that'll get tired, heavy...
and colorful come Autumn.
