Picture Postcard: Big Bang Theory Pumpkins

29 Oct

October 29, 2013

Like last year, I went to The Rise of the Pumpkins in Old Westbury Gardens, It is an old, spooky park, in the middle of nowhere, and the total darkness is lit only by the thousands of amazingly carved pumpkins they have on display. Last year I showed you a set of pumpkins carved in the likeness of The Avengers. This year, I bring you a set of pumpkins carved in the images of the stars of TV’s #1 comedy, and one of my favorite shows, The Big Bang Theory.

I’m also holding back a special Halloween pumpkin to present on Thursday night. As you’ll see, this is the perfect pumpkin to  post on Halloween. I almost never double up on special features but this week is a very special exception.

So here you are, The Big Bang Theory pumpkins!

Picture Postcard: The Jack-o-Lantern Avengers

I went to something called Rise of the Jack-o-Lanterns in Old Westbury Gardens. This is an event in a pitch-black, lonely rural patch of woods where they play spooky music and sound effects and the path is lit only by the most amazing jack-o-lanterns. In particular, I wanted to share five amazing lanterns, carved in the images of The Avengers.

And now I’ll present a few more photos just to give you a taste of what it was like there. It was a half-mile of about 5,000 pumpkins, some in a large open area, many in a dark, tree-shrouded path.
