This was our first year to take the little one trick or treating and I must say it was a complete success. All my worries about him being to little to really enjoy it, or possibly getting too tuckered out and having a meltdown were all for not. It was a blast. Keeping with tradition Liam’s first costume was a pumpkin (just like his mommy). He did great, running up to all the houses saying “twick or tweat”, “twick or tweat” all the way. Liam is super friendly and makes himself at home easily, so about halfway through the night he started running into people’s houses…we are going to have to work on that for next year.

One of the houses we went to had really gone all out:
Yay for people with the Halloween Spirit!

Life has been hectic lately. Feels like someone keeps throwing me curve balls. I was hurrying off to a workshop early one morning last week and as I pulled out of my garage, there in the alley was a deceased cardinal. I had to stop and take a shot of it. As I was taking the pic it I thought just how lucky I am to still be here, able to enjoy my life and the things around me. I couldn’t ponder the thought too long as to avoid being late, so I hurried on about my day. Later that afternoon when I returned the the cardinal was in a very much different state. However, despite the devastation I still found him to be quite beautiful. So I once again snapped a few shots. By the next day all that remained were a few feathers. Here one day gone the next. Life can be so fleeting.

Here is a shot of the cardinal, hope you enjoy…
