Halloween at Knott’s…

The numbers that appear in some of the captions refer to a photo challenge requiring that I take 25 fall photos.

Very similar to an earlier photo this month. But this is different because these are THEME PARK pumpkins! (#1)

Old Betsy…many’s the time I climbed up into the engineer’s seat and “drove” this train. Generations of kids, before and after mine, can say the same. (#2)

A pair of disgruntled lizards.

“Boot Hill.” One of my favorite spots at Knott’s. (#3)

I felt the beating of his heart! Thank you Hiram McTavish!

If you want my opinion about what makes Knott’s still great (although not as great as it was), let me just point out this display right here. The whole park used to have this vibe. And it was AWESOME.

Catawampus and Catawampus, Jr.

I had a really gourd time! (#4)

‘Tis the season…

Horrors, large and small, cute and creepy… (#6)

I particularly liked this one. It’s supposed to imply the guy is breaking out of his grave. But I prefer to think of it as the lawn being carnivorous. (#13)

Books I read this month…

“The Fantastic Mr. Fox” by Roald Dahl. Twisted, charming, with a morality as clouded as “Cat in the Hat.” Recommended.

I also read Poems for Young People by Robert Frost. I enjoyed the poetry, but loved the beautiful water color illustrations more. I took a picture but for some reason, it was totally blurry. It’s my opinion that the book moved on purpose just to ruin this particular entry.
