Theme Thursday: Halloween

This bunny costume is one of the few Halloween photos in my collection. The costume was made by my mother from old curtains and featured both floppy ears and a cotton tail. The pumpkin carving was a first effort as well. We walked the neighborhood without worry, something few children do today.

I remember feeling very hot, thanks to the year-round humidity.

Because there are no kids where I live now, few do much to mark Halloween.

One notable exception is my neighbour, who states that Halloween is her favourite time in the fall. The mannequin heads, wigs, masks and make-up above adorn her front window and face the street. They are published here with her permission, and I think they are wonderfully creative and fun!

Happy Halloween!

Theme Thursday: Traffic

There is nothing I dislike more than traffic;

It isn't picturesque;

Clogging our byways

and speaking to our

false adoration of all things automotive.
