Halloween Fun!

Bewitching Hat

Liz Taylor
These two beautiful ladies own their own businesses! Downtown, Fort Myers I visited a jewelry shop and the owner Bonnie was displaying new items, getting ready for Halloween! I adored her hat and asked if she would model for me! Once again thankful that I had my little point and shoot camera with me. She is a wonderful spirit and her beauty truly shines through! Thank you Bonnie!
The second beautiful lady just happens to be my daughter. She sent me this photo yesterday via her cell phone. Wish I had been back in Massachusetts with my big Canon. I thought her so beautiful, I doctored the photo up some with a texture and black and white effects. She did her own makeup for that Liz Taylor Look! Love those eyebrows! 
Thank You ladies and Happy Halloween Everyone! 

A Howling Halloween Parade!

Geisha Girls...so cute and proper!

Ahoy Matey...fix that patch...will ya!

Basset Lounge....those short cat naps take away the edge!

Later Gator...my bark is bigger than my bite!

Peter Pan & Tinkerbell...ready to fly!

Perky Cheerleaders...sis boom bah!
After dropping some friends off at the airport we decided to have dinner at a small local mall. We could hear a great deal of barking but had no idea why??? As we turned the corner we were greeted by hundreds of people parading their dogs all dressed in costume, each waiting their turn on a center stage! 
Once again, so glad to have had my little point and shoot camera for those unexpected moments! 
Most were uncomfortable in costume, but somehow endured with the aroma of doggy treats being shared! It was a feast for the eyes and so much fun! 
I captured just a few! Enjoy!

Goblins Two!

Artsy 359/365
Our two little goblins Hannah and Sophia! 
Hannah was The Mad Hatter and Sophie a Purple Crayon! 
Their older brother Mike, now fifteen is way to cool to Trick or Treat! 
He went out to eat with all of his way to cool but very sweet fifteen year old friends.
The girls were adorable in the color photograph via my daughter's cell phone, but I decided to do something a little artsy today instead. 
Had some fun with layers and filters. Made a copy of the background layer followed by a line and pencil drawing filter. 
Reduced the opacity and erased around the girls faces. 
There you have it instant art ready in less than ten minutes. 
Got to love that photoshop!
Have a wonderful day!

A Witch's Brew!

A Witch's Brew 358/365
by Rosemary Aubut

A witch's brew I make for you 
A stinky stew a hearty brew
Health be not a scary thought
My caldron ready to see you through 
Sticks and stones and brittle bones
A stock of plasma boiling red
A smell to surely clear your head 
O eerie ghosts and goblins too
Come to me I will care for you 

O me O my what's in the sky 
My hairy arms raise on high 
 Bats swoop down to compete my stew 
Let chill my brew let curdle too
It best be eaten by the midnight light 
Raising your spirit to all new height 
Let your soul take to flight 

Yes my darlings come to me
 A scary witch that I be 
I love you all as a good witch can 
This Halloween Night be full of fright
Try as you might to break my spell 
There is no escape from this fearsome hell 

For those in doubt I can not cook 
I have my sacred spellbound book
A boiling pot I saved for you
To drink or not up to you
Happy Halloween!
