Theme in Yellow
I spot the hills
With yellow balls in autumn.
I light the prairie cornfields
Orange and tawny gold clusters
And I am called pumpkins.
On the last of October
When dusk is fallen
Children join hands
And circle round me
Singing ghost songs
And love to the harvest moon;
I am a jack-o’-lantern
With terrible teeth
And the children know
I am fooling.
-Carl Sandberg
Well, I had something else planned for today but a friend asked me to go to the Halloween Parade and I could tell she really wanted to go but didn’t want to go alone so I agreed. And it was fun, and colorful. There were all kinds of costumes and all ages of participants. I especially liked the dogs in costume but didn’t get any good pictures. It was also hard to get good pictures of the parade as it was going by so fast and people were crowding in front. But I like this image for the spirit of fun and color and paradeness. And I like Sandbergs poem for my tribute to Halloween which is a part of autumn, just not my favorite part.
