In the market halls of Riga

The biggest pumpkin was almost 800 lbs.

We decided to join Halloween fun with Election fun, and the YesWeCarve.com website had these nifty stencils. I did the "Yes We Can" one, Olyvia did the "Hope" one, and Hayden did the traditional smiley-face one.

St Mary's Junior School in Oxted entered some lovely looking pumpkins of all shapes and sizes and colour.

I like unusual pumpkins. I'll blog about our trip to the pumpkin patch on my blog:

Went to the market in Chinatown, Singapore and took a few snaps of the goods and goodies being sold.

Dallas Vacation Day 6: We gave our cameras a workout today, spending several hours at the Dallas Arboretum. We started with a lovely tea and then wandered all over taking in pumpkins, waterfalls, pumpkins, flowers, and more pumpkins. It was really hot and really, really sunny. We were a pretty pathetic lot when we finally staggered back to the car. Fortunately, we were able to sufficiently recover over a delicious early, early dinner of tapas and sangria and coffee cocktails.
