Davis, California

October 26th

This morning I take a walk around the neighborhood to get a few pictures of the Halloween decorations that are now everywhere…

…cobwebs, pumpkins…

…diverse denizens of the graveyard. Some sinister…

…and some quite jovial:

It seems as though people go to much more trouble these days than when I was a child…

…with cobwebs as a big item…

…the occasional artifical jack o’lantern…

…and autumn wreaths:

Some of the decor is rather harvest oriented:

…and some is mainly harvest oriented:

But the real Halloween scenes will be this Friday evening as the streets fill with children in various disguises, going from house to house, asking for treats and threatening tricks. There will be many good opportunities for pictures. Alas, I will be on my flight home.

Yes, my travels are coming to an end, but there may be another post or two before I leave for France.
