Man of the Hour

Rancho Bernardo, CA

This neighborhood pumpkin was graced by today's morning light.

You need to know I am not a big fan of Halloween; mostly because it has become so over-commercialized and the fact it focuses on negative feelings. I know lots of kids love it, but I'm not a kid and we don't have any in this neighborhood. So tonight I'm leaving the porch and front lights turned off.

Boo who??? Now what to do with all the left over punkins?? Very cool image Robin.

Does this mean I shouldn't trick-or-treat at your house? I was expecting good candy...lol. Nicely done!

Nice shot, I like the rings of light on the right. I must say, I LOVE Halloween, but if you don't, you don't. Take a measure of delight that it's over. I was at a mall today, and found the department stores had all been decorated -- for CHRISTMAS! Ugh!

nicely done Robin!

Very cool effect!

And for the record... I don't much like pumpkins either. But then again I am just not a fan of round items. Its a quirk, I admit it. Circles make me nuts.

snootydog		01-Nov-2005 03:30
By the way, this is one ugly pumpkin carving!

I thought I was the only one who didn't like halloween. Glad to know I've got company. But on a different note... are you getting any of my comments? I leave them for you and then they disappear. Or maybe you have me on your blocked comments list?

Very nice and friendly pumpkin my friend. Well done.

Mindy McNaugher		01-Nov-2005 02:20
Cool effect! No trick or treaters here either!

Guest		01-Nov-2005 01:07
I'm not much of a halloweener either, pretty much for the same reasons. Anyway, great picture.

What's the antithesis of a Christmas ba humbug, probably a Halloween ho happy. Likely that's good! Creative image, again.

With all that is ugly in this world bring on the fun times I say...!!

Gayle P. Clement		31-Oct-2005 21:27
So, what's the Halloween equivalent of Bah, humbug?

Manfred Bachmann		31-Oct-2005 21:27

petesie		31-Oct-2005 19:57
I forgot to tell you...fun, creative image.

petesie		31-Oct-2005 19:55
I don't get any trick or treaters at my house, so I make sure to buy candy that I like!

Great image, but you are a miserable sod.

northstar37		31-Oct-2005 19:21
