Graveyard Smashes and Monster Dances

Maria’s Experience Writing Halloween Challenge gave us the topic “ Hoots ” and my mind went to having fun. Here are a couple of videos featuring a weird AI  created dance that I would like to share.

“Remember the Monster Mash? It was a graveyard smash… now Shockfactor has created a dance and set it to a song that is just as catchy, but I guess I’m still wondering what ever happened to the Transylvania Twist?

Check out both videos—they’re a hoot!”

Time To Fall

RDP Tuesday: SEASONS

Today is the beginning of the Autumn Equinox and as we know you can celebrate it with gusto.

Some people set up altars for Mabon.  Some people host parties. Some people decorate their homes in fall colors like oranges and reds and browns and golds.

And then there are people like me or put their dog on a leash and go for a nice walk at dusk to get a taste of the quiet, the still and beautiful  quiet that come with th Fall and of course Winter.

If the sky is clear, on these nights I do some star gazing too.

The Fall brings me peace, it brings me excitement too. Best of all, the Fall is the beginning of story telling time by firelight or candlelight..

Below I have selected some great paintings that perfectly reflect how I feel about Autumn. I hope you enjoy them and the music clips by a great pianist named James Woodward. I’ve also enclosed an instrumental version of a song that seems to be appropriate for the tonight.
