Photo Hunters~Classic

When I think of Halloween, I think of a CLASSIC decoration....the Jack O' Lantern.



I couldn't help but do a little research into the origins of the Jack O' Lantern. This site is a very good read on the who, where, and why of this tradition. I chose this as my "classic" theme as it clearly states:

The jack o' lantern is easily the most recognized and used symbol of Halloween in modern age. Not only is it used outside front doors in traditional form, but it's become the veritable treat container for trick or treaters. While the face of the jack o' lantern has changed over the years with the advent of pumpkin carving kits, it's still an ongoing tradition.

I didn't see as many (real) hand-carved Jack-o-Lanterns this year and you know, I really missed them.

Great choice for this week's theme!!!

Wonderful photo for the theme. Remember when hand carved jack-o-lanterns were the only decoration.

Terrific shot! One of the best parts of carving your pumpkin is then roasting the seeds.

I love carving pumpkins with my kids. It is a huge mess, but so much fun. The baby loves playing in the seeds. Thanks for the link.

nice one. and now i feel a teeeeeeeeny bit silly (after reading the link info) about making fun of turnip-carvers. i'm still going to do it, but maybe not just as loudly. ..
