ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND - PUMPKINS AND SCARECROWS

 We were in Annapolis last Saturday, the 25th (history found here). Lampposts were decorated with scarecrows and some shops for Halloween throughout the town. Here are a few of the photos I took while driving around. This is a wider angle of the photo I shared yesterday.


I liked the positive sign in the window next door.
"Together we can, Annapolis!"


There were also very large carved pumpkins. I took a few photos but there were others further away, and we were heading out of town. This link tells you about them.


A close up of the one above.


And another outside the visitor center.


You can see it more clearly here.


There were more scarecrows nearby...


and several others in the area but I was only able to take a few photos.


This was a flying visit but we're hoping to go back next month.

  2. The pumpkins are huge! I adore the way they are carved. They were surely done by an artist.

    1. With many, yes. My neighborhood is relatively quiet - there will be none and then a few pop up here and there. It seems to be that way in a lot of neighborhoods and then some of these historical towns put on quite a show.
