DAY 31 - Golden October

Two Halloween shots: from the Pastoral....to the Putrefied

Well seeing how as it's not only the last day of Golden October....but also HALLOWEEN! I have two shots....from the sublime to the snarling.

#1 I took a little earlier today, on the small rural street in the small Oregon town where I live - and where the winds haven't blown all the blood-red leaves from the trees yet -

And #2 was taken on Main Street in the neighboring town, Klamath Falls, where enterprising entrepreneurs are celebrating Halloween ghoulishness with a Zombie Mannequin who, appropriately enough, is wearing a pumpkin orange OSU (Oregon State University) sweatshirt -

Both were taken with my newish fisheye, hence the somewhat strange perspectives....but, hey! it's Halloween! Happy Hauntings to all!
 
One to end the month. It's been challenging - to say the least :)

Peace out! :) ...hope I didn't post this one before.

Just unpacked from an out of town funeral. The suit needs to go to the dry cleaners anyways, so I guess it's OK if Kiki uses it as a bed for a day.

I'm sorry for your loss. But I can't help responding to Kiki, who certainly thinks the suit is fair game! Lovely photo! But I'm not going to let my cats see it and get ideas!
 
I have long bewailed the lack of double-hung windows in this house. But today I discovered that I can open the bottom half of the window, slide up the half-screen behind it, and have a clear shot onto the outside world. So I give you - Henry, Il's bustling Main Street! At the sunniest time of this day, no less!

I don't know the film, but I'll seek it out. My wife brought Kiki to our relationship and she was named already. I usually call her BoBo since her name is Kiki Bojangles (and I associate Kiki with "Don't go Breaking My Heart"). Your Kiki is a real beauty.

Luke,
I just realized your cat and ours share the same name: Kiki
Ours was named after the Miyazaki film: Kiki's home delivery service

I consider myself a Miyazaki fan, and I wasn't impressed with Kiki's Home Delivery Service, so I'll be interested what you think, Luke! However, I adore the Kiki named after her and the one that wasn't. I think "Kiki" is a "urname" (if I may coin a word) for a cat. My husband has a stuffed tiger about as long as my hand guarding our spices. It was one of his favorite toys when he was a child, and he thinks he was trying to say "Kitty" when he named it.
 
I just want to thank all who have "played" this month. An amazing and uplifting display that I have really enjoyed. I have not contributed as much as I would have liked, due to it being my year-end at work and the little matter of a wedding to prepare for, but I have been here in spirit.

Did I mention wedding? Oh yes, in a little under three hours. :D

Be good for the other Mods while I am away, please.

Oh - anyone else feel like joining me in a NOVEMBER NOCTURNE? post what you like, as long as it is a night shot... :D

Wedding? Have I missed something in earlier posts? Your own? My congratulations to whoever they apply to!

And I'm trying to parley November Nocturne into Dinner at the Marina. The sacrifices I make for this group!
