Hanging On Too Long

Pumpkin patches and little boys.  Is there anything better?

A pumpkin in the hand is worth two on the bush(or vine)

Silhouettes

Here's a Photoshop piece for the week.  I thought it might fit the Halloween theme somewhat.  

I say that I can't make anything up. I think of myself as a collage artist. I'm cutting and pasting memories of my life. And I say, I have to live a life in order to tell a life. I would prefer to tell it because telling you're always in control, you're like God.

Rollin'

I looked over and there was a perfect sea of orange.

I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.

Sun King

I don't know what else to say except that when I look at a sunflower I want to smile.  I also remember all the sunflower seeds I ate as a child.

Follow the yellow brick road.

The Danger Zone

This one is guarding the crops from little goblins and birds that are hungry.  I guess he's not THAT scary!

People protect what they love.

I Just Want To See Your Face

There's nothing like seeing a field of sunflowers to make you think "Halloween".  I wonder if there's a maze in there!
