On The Way

Writober Photo Challenge #5 –SUCCESS

My goal was to take three pictures of things that made me feel like  Halloween is actually on it’s way.

Why did I feel that way you may ask?

Well. That’s another story.

We Have Questions

Halloween Photography Challenge: Failure

On one of our walks, my dog Hamish Macbeth found a bouquet of dead flowers and underneath the flowers was a box of candy.

From the look on his face, I think he had questions.

I failed to find an answer for him.

A few years ago, me and Hamish came upon this Halloween display in our neighbor’s yard.

As you can see, Hamish seemed to enjoy it.

I had questions for him.

He had no answers for me.

Indiana J Was Here

Saint Louis Cemetery Number One
October 31, 2012

In Cemetery Number One there are neglected tombs.

Some of them were damaged by Katrina. Some of them are just really old.

When I was exploring Cemetery Number One and came across these  ruinous  resting places, I tried to peek inside of them.

I’m not sure why I didn’t want anyone to see me doing that. So I was sneaky about it.

I felt like a peeping tom,

until I saw other people doing the same thing.

Then I just felt like an explorer-  like Indiana Jones.

Experiece Writing Halloween Photo Challenge #3 SHAME

Are We There Yet?

Halloween Photography Challenge: Embarrassment

Every year I challenge myself to write about Halloween. I normally start posting for Halloween in July. By September I have a nice little body of work and I’m ready to move into November when I write ghost stories ( it’s a thing, my family LOVES to tell ghost stories over the Christmas season)

This year I dropped the ball. I started during September (  kind of ). I told myself that there was a lot going on in the world, in my life and that at least I got myself together in time to make it to October. I wasn’t feeling great about being so far behind my schedule.

Now look at this chalk art:

The kid who drew it had a zillion things going on the day she drew it. But the thing is, it’s creative, it’s got a little story to it. I love it. I’m  fan.

I’m posting this to remind myself that what matters is, when things are rough, that groove is always there for you to jump into. You just have to make the leap.
