Decorating for Halloween

There was a time when our son was younger that decorating for Halloween meant turning the house into a witches liar with giant cobwebs, dangling spiders and bats!
Although he's long gone past that stage, I still like to get out the more tasteful
decorations which I picked up over the years as well as some seasonal floral arrangements.
Got these mini pumpkins when I met a friend for coffee at the Flower Market
yesterday.
I've displayed in a glass bowl which a friend carried all the way from LA.
Mind you, I don't normally keep it balanced on the back of an armchair but it was such a dull
day that this was the only place I could place it to get some natural light.

A lovely arrangement in beautiful light. Prettier than a Jack O Lantern!

Excellent still life. Well done!

the light is fine on these gnarly gourds..certainly more appealing than cobwebs and bats..

A very pleasing still life, perfect for Halloween (or Thanksgiving, if you were American). Beautiful light and use of DOF. V.

Excellent light balance

But the balance for the light is perfect :o)
