Pumpkin Alley


I went for a walk at the Desert Botanical Garden yesterday morning and I found something new to photograph.  The garden had a family event this last weekend called Strange Garden and they created one path that was called Pumpkin Alley.  These two orange fellows were pointing the way.



This bell-shaped archer was attempting a trick made famous by William Tell.  The fellow with the apple was saying his prayers.






























This poor gourd has stumbled into a "jumping cactus" and he has those little balls of thorns attached to his back side.  It looks like his friend is pretty freaked out by the sight of his friend's dilemma.


This group of rotund squashes were having a fun time in this big tree.


This group has set up camp and are roasting marshmallows over the campfire.  

What fun arrangements.  I'll have a few more tomorrow.

What a great idea! It's nice to see clever decorations that don't require plastic.

Fantastic...kudos to the person(s) who thought this up. Great fun. I really don't much like pumpkins but I like these. One of the things about going up an alley is that you can't be sure what you will find. These guys/gals would be a great find!
