The Halloween That Wasn't

The first year we moved here I put goodie bags together,dressed as a witch and had the place decked out in haunted splender.Now I am down to one bag of candy,a skull bracelet and a windsock.I got NO trick or treaters today.Gave half the bag of candy to the UPS man!The rest is for me while I watch scary movies and sulk.I love living in the woods...but I miss Halloween!
Oh, sorry, that must be sad if you love Halloween and trick-or-treaters. Maybe you could train some of your furry beings to knock on the door for special treats! ;-)))

Great shot. Maybe the woods looked too scary for the kids ;) happy Halloween anyway.

This was the first year in my adult life that I did not buy candy. We had zero trick or treaters last year. I feel your pain. I'm heading out for what might be my last time with my son shortly. I'm sure he'll want to go on his own next year. I love your shot!

I did not buy any candy either. We are at lake house and no one will come by. I love your skull bracelet shot

Neat bracelet and great DoF. My only trick-or-treaters and grandkids. That's ok...I like the quiet, although this is the first year I didn't carve a pumpkin. Do miss that part. Enjoy your movies!

Great bracelet! We've had 4 trick-or-treaters this year (so far). A new low if that number holds. I have carved pumpkins and everything. Oh well.

Super cool photo. We hardly got any and we live in a big neighborhood. Oh well, more candy for me;-). Enjoy your scary movie...off to watch one myself.

Great shot of your bracelet--wonderful details! We don't get "trick or treaters" around here either. It's a bummer.

What a great piece

Aaah. poor sad story! I know the feeling! some years we get bunches and some hardly any! this is looking like a hardly any year for us too! It rained a bit tonight and that will slow a lot of them down I am sure!

Your picture is very intriguing though. Perfect atmosphere for the day!

Cool shot nonetheless!
November 1st, 2014  
Very cool
November 1st, 2014  
Oh, no... no visitors. Bummer. You still have the spirit, though. Perfect mood and low-key sinister shot for the day.
November 1st, 2014  
Great shot!

Fabulous capture and a fav for me (we don't have trick or treaters anymore either...sort of sad.
November 1st, 2014  
wonderfully macabre shot... so sorry no trick-or-treaters come find you in the woods :(
November 1st, 2014  
Oh too bad. Your house would be a great one to visit! Enjoy those scary movies!
November 1st, 2014  
Spooky.

Where I live we've grown older so trick or treat has diminished over the years. When I settled in England in the 60s it was a very low key tim. I don't think we get into it like you do!

Love your scull, maybe you should have a party next year.
November 1st, 2014  
Great focus on this wonderfully menacing shot
November 1st, 2014  
Maybe you decorated your house so well the kids were too scared to visit
November 1st, 2014  
Such a cool bracelet and very atmospheric shot.
November 1st, 2014  
Great narrative and shot
November 1st, 2014  
Great b&w! DoF is perfect allowing just enough detail!
November 1st, 2014  
Great Halloween processing and DOF. I had only 24 trick or treaters. Others in my city get over a hundred. I am grateful for my 24. It gives me time to enjoy their costumes. Maybe you can throw a party or help with a kid's party next year. The downtown merchants, the churches and some organizations have various events this time of year in my city.

Cool shot! Living in a woods in Halloween, that´s scary in its own but watching some scary movies on top of that!
