Gourdgeous

I was able to check out the Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular down at the Roger Williams Park Zoo on Sunday. Sure, it was the day after Halloween, but when better to beat the crowds? By all accounts, it must get real crowded prior to the holiday and I encourage you to check it out next year.

That said, I documented the experience for my fellow pumpkin-lovers to enjoy from the warm confines of their home internets. Did I mention it got pretty chilly that night? Just about anything here kicked the crap out of the one I carved this year, but then, I wouldn’t pay to see a bunch of my crappy carvings.

Best viewed in full-screen slide show after the break (i.e. click the link).

Those came out great! The images are so vivid. I can’t name a favorite because there are too many great shots, but I especially like the one with the pumpkin conductor and all of the pumpkins at the base of the tree.

I agree with you. I think The Maestro was my favorite carved one and my favorite painted one was Where The Wild Things Are.

For some reason, I don’t recall seeing the pumpkins (the orchestra) around the Maestro. They complete the scene. My favorite painted one was probably the one with the covered bridge. You got a great shot of that one as well!
