Halloween treat



This All Hallow's Eve brought not one beautiful sunset but a sequence of them, like a child changing costumes for each stop on the trick-or-treat trail.

An offshore wind pushed interesting clouds across the western horizon, altering the view from our porch minute by minute. Remember to click on the pics for larger views.



The sun's rays slanting upward through layers of clouds create a prism effect.



Time out to shmooze with the friendly neighborhood feline. What's Halloween without a black cat on your porch? This one is in costume as the "Got Milk?" ad.



We live near the airport.





Back to Mordor.



Spooky faces in the sky: A ghost (dark "eyes" at center) and a jack-o-lantern, a detail from the first photo in this entry. Boo!





By now it was getting dark and I figured the show was over. I went down the road to take some of Melinda's home-baked Halloween cookies to little Jake and chatted with his mom Karen while she carved their jack-o-lantern. Fifteen minutes later I got ready to leave. On their doorstep I realized the sky held yet one more treat, and I ran for my camera.
