Be Witched


On Halloween we went out to dinner. Before the stroke of midnight, slipping back into our neighborhood as if we'd never left it, we decided to eschew all the normal routes of ingress and egress.
.
We have long been certain that on Halloween there's decadent deviltry afoot, although all we've ever found evidence of is familial fun. Never the less, in our very quiet dark neighborhood, all beloved black cats are kept indoors on this special night.
.
As we traveled a short cut back to our hill, we discovered to our utmost delight, this life-size witch and her feline companions. Eerily in the late evening the perpetually full moon glowed ochre.
.
Personally, I'm very fond of silhouettes. This one made our night. We loved it; we voted it the very best seasonal decoration in the neighborhood.
