Happy Dia de los Muertos Day of the Dead: Pumpkins From The Rise of the Jack O'Lanterns at Descanso Gardens

Last week I went to The Rise of the Jack O'Lanterns at Descanso Gardens, a pumpkin extravaganza! The pumpkins invaded one of my favorite spaces and made it completely different. There were so many jack o'lanterns, it was incredible. These are lots of images, but there were many more, it was difficult to winnow it down to just these ones. These are some of the Dia de los Muertos / Day of the Dead images. I took a few with the flash on to show the design and construction details, I hope you will enjoy them. Happy Dia de los Muertos / Day of the Dead!

Happy Halloween: Pumpkins From The Rise of the Jack O'Lanterns at Descanso Gardens

I love Halloween, it is one of my favorite holidays. Dressing up, candy, and pumpkins; what's not to love? Last week I went to The Rise of the Jack O'Lanterns at Descanso Gardens, a pumpkin extravaganza! The pumpkins invaded one of my favorite spaces and made it completely different. There were so many jack o'lanterns, it was incredible. These are lots of images, but there were many more, it was difficult to winnow it down to just these ones. I'm saving some of the Dia de los Muertos themed ones for tomorrow. I took a few with the flash on to show the design and construction details, I hope you will enjoy them. Happy Halloween!
