I hear drum rolls and circus music ...

#327: Scattered

Fall in California.

Where the leaves do their best to snuff out new life meaning only to do what Nature and the California sun urges it to do .....

They just can't "leaf" the poor flowers alone ..... it's not their nature.

#292: Halloween

"I don't care if the sun don't shine ...
I get my lovin' in the evening time ...
When I'm with my babies ....."

The final (late entry) October Theme photo for 2009.

#291: Bill

This is Bill.

He's been around for years.

He comes out for a visit every Halloween. Bill is a life-size plaster skull. He has a 20+ year old coat of glow-in-the-dark paint applied to him that has long since faded into oblivion. His lower jaw is unattached ... but you can't really blame him for that. I mean, after all ..... he doesn't have anything to hold it in place, y'know?

But that's okay. I carry it around for him. I don't mind.

Bill comes with me wherever I go during Halloween. And during Día de Los Muertos, too.

The dude's a trooper. Bill never complains. Bill goes back in his box come the end of the season. Bill waits patiently for the next Halloween.

He's such a keeper .....

The kids of Toluca Lake have a daunting task prior to entering the pumpkin patch:

Avoid the evil, grinning Pumpkin Guard.

Hain't no bones about this October Theme.
(Hokay. So maybe there are .....)

#287: Dayscare With Twinky

Clowns. Even hanging inanimate and in the daylight they're freaky scary .....

I'm sure the little kids coming to daycare this morning will be scarred for life.

"Relaxed" October Theme.

(The incorrectly titled title to this entry has been left alone and uncorrected for the bemusement of all who think Rupe may have been left of center when it was originally posted. Get off me.)

A "whites of your eyes" October Theme.

#282: Free Delivery

The more you look at this scene, the scarier it gets.

Trust me: This place doesn't need any Halloween decorations.

From the dude smoking right beside the "Thank You For Not Smoking Here" sign to the darkened hidden banner offering "20% Off For Dine-In Customer".

I don't know about you .... but the hackles are all a'quivery at the back of my neck .....

This October Theme might need a bit of sautéed butter ...
... some minced garlic ...
... and perhaps a smidge of epicac, too.

Cheetah .... Tiger.

Prelude to Halloween .....
