We were wandering around Ripon on Saturday and found that there was a pumpkin carving contest in the market place. There were some amazing pumpkins, obviously carved by very talented people.
I thought it was a bit sad though that those ones would get all the votes and the ones done by the kids wouldn’t get as many.
I voted for this one!
Isn’t it great! Excellent use of mixed-media elements.
Happy Halloween!

They started quite discreet…
But then they grew…
And grew…..
And grew…!
I thought that fly agarics were rare, or only grew in foreign lands. A quick google tells me they are rife and everywhere. Still, I’ve never seen one except in a picture book so I was pretty disappointed there weren’t more gnomes. Or any gnomes.
Luckily the hens didn’t seem interested in eating them, but something was definitely having a nibble – I think our resident slugs are having a whale of a time at the bottom of the garden! Either that or they’ve all poisoned themselves.
Either way, I’m not particularly interested in eating them. I just think they’re pretty. A friend issued a warning when I put these pics on Facebook – you’d better pick them before they spore or your garden will look like Super Mario Land!
That sounds awesome!
