Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: #120 What a Treat!

What a Treat to be in Maine during October!  First of all, the fall foliage is specular and secondly, Halloween decorations are on display!

“Halloween is opportunity to be really creative.” – Judy Gold

It is a treat to walk around Ogunquit and Kennebunkport looking at such creative exhibits!  The first two images have a few interesting details: lobster claws as hands, bow ties, flip flops for shoes, social distancing and most importantly – Face Masks worn by all! 😊  (To see each image in more detail, be sure to double click on it.)

“Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen. Voices whisper in the trees, ‘Tonight is Halloween!’” – Dexter Krozen

“I love Halloween, and I love that feeling:  the cold air, the spooky dangers lurking around the corner.” – Evan Peters

“Anyone could see that the wind was a special wind this night, and the darkness took on a special feel because it was All Hallows’ Eve.” – Ray Bradbury

 Halloween is right around the corner.  Over the years children dressed up as a favorite character and traveled from house to house saying ‘Trick or Treat’.  Next was the excitement of sorting through all the goodies!  This year’s Trick or Treating will be handled differently so everyone can be safe.  In spite of this, the spirit of Halloween is still alive.

“The farther we’ve gotten from the magic and mystery of our past, the more we’ve come to need Halloween.” – Paula Curani

Tina’s topic this week is What a Treat!.  Be sure to check out her post here to see some amazing animal pictures she took in Africa.  Plus, Tina is sharing a few photography tips from renowned wildlife photographer Kathleen ReederMs. Reeder recently gave a zoom presentation for our Photography Club members.  And, it was quite ‘A Treat!’ to hear her lecture! 😊
