It's spooky season and you know what that means:
time to carve up some pumpkins. For the past few weeks up here in beautiful western North Carolina, the leaves have been changing colors and it's been
freezing, but over the weekend we had some very warm days which meant that yesterday we put on short sleeved t-shirts and went outside to carve our pumpkins in the welcome sunshine and crunchy leaves. Hallelujah! (Today, unfortunately, it is freezing again.)

This year we decided on bats. Creepy, sinister, Halloween bats. Cody went for a classic bat flying out of a cave kind of look. I went for a scary bat perching on a skull. I think they both turned out great, but I really love how Cody's looks lit up.
(When you look at my pumpkin, what do you see first: the bat or the skull?)
Hey! These pumpkins look great! You two are so talented :) I absolutely LOVE the backdrop of the pictures. I want to come experience a true Autumn one day (and peace out by winter lol).
ReplyDeleteThanks! This is my favorite tradition. Haha! And yes! Come see Fall. 🍁
DeleteI see the skull first. Great job on both!
ReplyDeleteThank you for answering! I think I see the skull first too.
DeleteI see the skull first, but that cave is IMPRESSIVE. Well done to the both of you
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yeah, Cody says our brains automatically look for the face first, but that just makes me wonder if anyone sees the bat first.
Deletethese might be my favorite yet. seeing the face first makes when the bat comes into focus even more impressive, by the way. well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! 🎃🦇
DeleteEmbarrassed to say it took me a long time to see the bat. I thought the bat you were talking about was hanging upside down above the skull. Had to read the comments. Twice.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the skull just jumps out at you. The bat is pretty subtle. It's so interesting how our brains look for the face.
