Pumpkins Pumpkins Everywhere, Part 1

Yeah, yeah, Halloween has passed & this is a bit late, but oh well. I have to share. Lot of pics -- what can I say, my new camera was on 18 hours old when we jumped in the car to head out to Sauvie Island. . . and you can't learn a new camera unless you take lots of pictures (900 in my case that day, but who's counting?)

The scenery along the way: The St. John's Bridge (taken from our moving van, through the window) Mt. St. HelensMt. AdamsMt. HoodThe pumpkinsMy little sunflower Avery American Gothic -- I wonder if the real couple fought over the pitchfork like these 2 did? Lots to see & doCute, but not too scary! The Pumpkin Sling ShotFirst the girls picked out a cabbage for Devon to slingThen they were onto pumpkins (above photo by Kelly Wood)
