Pumpkins

A gorgeous fall day called for a visit to the pumpkin exhibit at the botanical garden. They hold a decorating contest every year but I had never been before. There were so many it was hard to choose which ones to photograph…

These two were treated as canvases, the one on the right is reminiscent of a Van Gogh

The next two are more tri dimensional, especially the one on the right that was totally carved.

Those two had quite the personality…

Since I was there, I went back to the lantern festival and was delighted to see that there were even more figures…. I will need to go back one more time to see it all lit up after dusk.

I came upon a fountain that really caught my attention: cascading reflecting ponds…
