Halloween

It’s Halloween

When not in Japan, I am enjoying photographing San Francisco. This last week I have been photographing some of the Halloween decorations in my neighborhood. It has been fun! Happy Halloween!

These guys are a bit sinister looking, but it isn’t all about ghoulish characters……

The last photo is actually a photo. I am not a strong advocate of over-the-top photo editing as I prefer my photos as close to their natural state as possible. That said, it is Halloween and I thought I might experiment a bit. The above photo was the end result.

Finally, as I got off the bus today, breezing past Tully’s, a rather unusual spider caused me to stop in my tracks.

If anyone knows what type of spider this is, please share..In the meantime, have a  safe and happy Halloween
