Walking in a Wicked Wonderland


October 28, 2011 — Sorry to post about this again, but I just can’t shake the October snow from the shoulders of my vampire cape. At this point, it’s all melted, but they’re predicting an actual snowstorm this weekend for my neck of the woods, which is really going to hurt the skimpy costume quotient of our local Halloween parties and make all the ghosts extremely hard to pick out.

All my pics from last night’s snowfall are, naturally, night pics. But my wife woke up early this morning to get some pretty awesome daytime shots of the October snow paying its respects at our neighboring graveyards (here’s her Tumblr for more of her Fall pics from this year). I thought I’d go ahead and post them here and push back Buffy for yet another day. I should probably just start writing about her Christmas episode, I guess.

With the impending white-out, it’s certainly shaping up to be a weird weekend. Like weirder than the “normal weird” of children dressed as psycho killers asking strangers for candy. I might have to throw a few extra candles in the jack-o-lanterns to keep up my Halloween spirit. At the very least I’ll be practicing on working the phrase, “a snowball’s chance in Halloween” into my lingual repertoire.

Still, these pictures make the strange harmony of snow and autumn foliage a difficult thing to deny.
