A Few Halloween Decorations

My nightly walkies with Dog are continuing, usually sometime around 9:30. A few more Halloween decorations are appearing in the hood. When I wish to take a photo, I lay the leash down and step on it. I throw my gloves beside the leash, and pull out my phone. I take a quick photo.

Our neighbour has added a few decorations to the very full display from last year. This is the neighbour with the motorcycle ghouls. It's a helluva ornament, so to speak. Straight photos today, no fancy AI-ing.


From up the street, you have seen the tall red dude at the top of the street before, but the rest of the display was lit better one night, so I took two more photos.



One night, I took a very short clip of the highly stylized house that I previously showed in a photo.


I have already done some more spooky AI, but I have to keep some things in the queue until we get a little closer to Halloween.

  2. I become agitated by repetitive movement and sound so the house in the video would drive me crazy. The rest of it I like.

  3. I guess I thought that the US was the only country that takes Halloween decorating to the limit. I am now enlightened.

  5. Oh the first photo of the demon? is SCARY. As a kid, I would've been scared to go trick-or-treating there, but would've been brave for CANDY!

  6. John mentioned how elaborate Halloween decorations have become. Perhaps we need the distraction these days?

  7. Your multitasking "step" method still makes for impressive composition. Well done, sir.

  8. Do you get many children on Halloween for trick or treat?

  11. Your neighborhood really gets into the spirit!. Living as we do, out of sight and with no trick or treaters (Josie and friends visit a nearby small town where the houses are many,) I don't even put a jack o' lantern out anymore.

  12. That is great fun. Obviously we don't have any kids. Besides, as an elementary teacher I put the hours in years ago!

  13. Nice decorations in your hood! We seem to be the only house on our block. :: side eyes the rest of the street ::

  14. I like that third photo, the house is a bit too quick/flashy for my eyes, I'd have a headache looking at that too long.

  15. The gloves tossed next to the leash made me smile, that’s a whole routine for one quick photo at 9:30 at night. Good call saving the spooky AI ones for closer to Halloween, it gives us something to look forward to.

  16. I love to see houses all decorated for Halloween. Once upon a Time, I really got into it when the boys were young. Now, not so much. It’s too much work for me now. But I still enjoy seeing the displays
