Hidden Mickey
Candles perched behind the bowl like ears and reminded me of a “Hidden Mickey,” so commonly seen at a nearby theme park. I don’t really mind Mickey hiding in our kitchen; in fact I rather like it, so long as he keeps his paws off my candy corn and wine. View Post↗ #hiddenmickey #candycorn #wine
Tricky Treaters
These little bears seem more interested in treating than in tricking; they are a delight in the morning light. Halloween is on its way, and it seems that they can bearly wait. #trickortreat #halloween #littlebears
Creepy Creature Encounter
It rested peacefully in its web in the morning light that was muted by dense, surrounding foliage. Suddenly, its primary eyes detected a change in the light and the motion of something coming its way. It shifted slightly in its web, perhaps to get a better view of the person that was approaching since its…
Shroom Town
A round, brown acorn resembling an eyeball gazed without blinking at the tiny mushrooms I found while I was pulling weeds. I eyed them as intently as the acorn in search of little Fairies but found none. Had I discovered any, however, they surely would have been quite dainty. PS: No ‘shrooms were harmed in…
Witchly Watermark
It emerged from the shadows in the early morning twilight, sinister in appearance. Water from the sprinklers had left a mark resembling a foot and leg dangling from a witch who was leaning forward over her broomstick, flying to the right while her robes flared wildly behind. Later, after sunrise the mark appeared more hilarious…
Sunlight and Shadows
Sunbeams illuminated the scene and cast transient shadows on the room partition while the metal pumpkin sculpture with its silly grin looked right into the Sun without even squinting. #sunbeams #shadows #pumpkin
Lost and Found
We thought that we had lost or discarded these two smirking, show-off Halloween decorations that we had had since the last millennium, and were quite distraught. However, we eventually found them hiding in the garage in a box labeled “Halloween Decorations.” Who would ever have guessed? #halloween #decorations #lostandfound
Hunting the Moon
For the next several days, the brightening Hunter’s Moon will light the evening skies as it climbs higher above the horizon each evening. Following the Harvest Moon, it once provided light in the autumn for hunters to add to the winter food stocks in the days before supermarkets and Amazon deliveries. Now, it may be…
Gordie and How
We bought these two grinning gourdes to replace older, beloved Halloween decorations that we thought we had lost or discarded (much to our relief we found them later–YAY!). These new ones were so cute that we just had to keep them; they make a great addition to our collection. I christened the one on the…
Backyard Bird Brawl
Three times the poor little chickadee tried to get the wren to share the feeder, but the wren would not hear of it. The third time the startled chickadee stopped in mid flight, threw its wings up as if to surrender, and turned around to make its getaway. During their exchange, I think I heard…
