The Halloween weekend in our corner of woods has offered all kinds of fall weather, from bright and breathtakingly glorious…

…to grey and bland, to rainy and windy, and everything in between. One day we quite unintentionally had appropriate Halloween effects delivered by nature (with an assist by us):

We’ve stripped our garden canopy for the winter season already. If the sun’s just right, we get the shadow of a huge “spider” cast on our window.

We also witnessed an attempted murder…

…but the two crows in question never found enough flockmates to complete it. #BadPuns

Happy Halloween!
