Ellipsis Monday Photo Shoot #148: Sweet Halloween Greetings









"This Halloween the most popular mask is the Arnold Schwarzenegger mask. And the best part? With a mouth full of candy you will sound just like him."

-Conan O'Brian










I am a little under the weather, so I am closing this week's assignment an hour earlier than usual. :) There will be a new topic posted at midnight! :)

EMPS #148: SWEET HALLOWEEN GREETINGS NOW CLOSED!
Today is October 31st... HALLOWEEN! If you have known me any length of time, then you know that HALLOWEEN is my favorite holiday! You also know that I have a sweet tooth that goes straight to my soul! Put the two together with my love of photography and what do I get? I got the idea to make the subject of this photo shoot... SWEET HALLOWEEN GREETINGS! Just grab a bowl of candy, or a delicious HALLOWEEN CAKE, or even some marshmallow ghosts and create a HALLOWEEN GREETING!

Extra Credit: Show me a HALLOWEEN COSTUME that either you, or someone you know is wearing this year!

EMPS #147: Earth Tones


Moss Beach, California, October 24th, 2011

That time of year thou may'st in me behold,
When yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.

-William Shakespeare, Sonnet LXXIII
