Fall here is cool mornings and evenings and hot in the middle of the day. Or else, we have Santa Ana winds blowing and it’s just scorching hot with the winds coming from the east.
October means that Halloween in almost here, sure stores have had items for two months already, but now is the time that people start decorating. The house across the street from me always changes to orange lightbulbs.
Another house puts up a fall colored wreath.
Even the cacti get in on the color changing act. 
Rust makes this rooster look orange, but he stays put year round.
As does this part of a pair. I’d never noticed them before, it pays to go looking for Halloween decorations, you never know what you will find.
Nature provides a lot of orange this time of year.
In my neighborhood pumpkin is king.
This tree house definitely wins!
The creepy begins to take over, these light up at night. I need to venture out further for the macabre, I know it’s out there just not on my block.
And of course my front porch. Every year I buy a bunch of pumpkins and gourds, they accent my Mexican pots beautifully.
This oddity is new to me. It looks diseased, but someone figured that it would sell, so they kept breeding for more of this look. It also reminds me of insulation foam. As if someone took a smooth pumpkin and just used up a can of that foam to create this look.
Next, I will move farther a field and find some more of the unique and unusual.
