oh and if that is a "burning bush" type of euonymus in the top left of the frame, i'd like to see this shot again in a couple of weeks when the leaves change color

Wow. Love the many colors captured in this one mon amie. That's one gorgeous tree too. Never noticed till this year how many decorate for Halloween - every other house here has started already - great for the wee ones.

Rebecca from Leicester, United Kingdom
*big smile* I like this a lot too, dear lady!! It has such a gorgeous homely and welcoming feel to it. Wonderful sense of wholeness and life in full bloom, and beautiful warm colours. Mmmmmmmmm!!! :)

@Rebecca: Isn't it though Rebecca? It does have that homey feel, of course, it's not my home...;)

Walt from Scarborough, Canada
Nothing like the orange of a pumpkin, is there? I've been trying to get to a patch this year...no luck...

@Walt: well Walt you can get a real orange orange...they grow in patch?
Ian Bramham from Manchester, United Kingdom
The simplicity of the composition works so well with this one Lorraine - I love the colours of the bush, blue fence and pumpkins. As others have said, it has a lovely homely 'fireside' feel to it1
(ps - with pumpkins in the UK we hollow them out & cut funny or scary faces into the side and then put a candle inside - they look great at night. Do you have the same tradition in Canada?)
