Walking in the neighborhood.

I like this one -- VOTE, and a peace-symbol nose.....

The dreaded canibal pumpkin......

Mums.

I think the primary leaves shown here are zelkova.

Pumpkin-carving at our house.

This one is a pumpkin rendition of one of the Mii characters my daughter has created on the Wii.

We decided this one was sweating because it had no anesthesia for its lobotomy.....

Time to attempt punching open the nostrils......

My one and only Halloween decoration -- one of those fake jack-o-lanterns with the lightbulb.  Some years this has been our only pumpkin.  Here you see it from the back, with its reflection in the front window.

Here are the two you saw being carved, again from the back, with their reflections in the side window (by the front door).

All three from the other side of the window by the front door (with the fake one's reflection in the front window, top right).
