Happy Halloween!

It was tough getting a pumpkin this year, but eventually I spotted the perfect one!
Here's what I did with it:





Thats Totoro from the Studio Ghibli movie Tonari no Totoro if you don't already know!

I'm chuffed with how he turned out!
I haven't carved a pumpkin in that way before, just taking the skin off in places and not cutting right through. This year I broke out my wood carving chisels and did it with those! ^^

It was tough to photograph him all lit up, not least becames the candle kept going out! XD"

I made tomato and pumpkin soup from the flesh I scooped out the middle! Yum!

Have a Happy halloween everyone!

October Snow

Yesterday it snowed!
Not enough to make a snow Totoro, but I was still excited to see it.
This morning of course there was just a scattering of hard frozen snow left, but it was still cold and a good frost too.
And to top it off it was a beautiful clear morning, so I went to my local patch and took a few photos, here's a few of my favorites:







You can see a few more shots I took and also buy prints of them if you wish at Red Bubble.
