Stranger 3/100 Rock
Sunday my family went to Rombach Farms pumpkin patch. While my son, daughter and I picked our pumpkins in short order, my husband was still undecided, and continued to look for that elusive perfect carving pumpkin. His pumpkin hunt brings to mind a certain Halloween classic, doesn't it?
While hubby was in search of the great pumpkin, I zeroed in on this fellow as he was restocking pumpkins off of a flatbed farm truck. I asked him if he was a Rombach, he replied, no, he wasn't one, but he had married the only girl. I then asked if I could take his picture for my 100 stranger Flickr group, and he wasn't so sure--I reassured him my intent was to take photo's of people I didn't know, not "strange" people. This brought a chorus of laughter from the other workers up on the farm truck. He allowed the photo's, and when I asked his name, he simply replied Rock. So, stranger number 3 is Rock of Rombach Farms.

| Rock, stranger, no let's say, new friend number 3, restocking the inventory. |
 |
| Rock taking some good natured ribbing from the photo shoot. |
 |
| My crew, on the annual hunt. |
 |
| Yes! |
 |
| Bonnie and Clyde made their annual appearance. |
 |
| Still on the hunt. |
 |
| KEEP OFF means....?? |
 |
| Now these are some Great Pumpkins. |
 |
| I can't tell you how long he looked, but I can tell you I took most of my photo's while he was in search of the Great Pumpkin. Too much Charlie Brown as a kid, oh Linus.... |
 |
| My selection, it smelled just like watermelon when I carved into it. |
 |
| A mountain of pumpkins, it looks like a large lumpy piece of candy corn, doesn't it? |
 |
| Time to head home for some pumpkin carving. |

Autumn Pinterest Mash-up
 |
I have a fondness for rainy fall days. There is a gentleness to the drops, and a magic to the light. I want to cook chili, take a hike in the woods, and afterwards snuggle under a warm throw and get lost in a good read. |
 |
And sunny clear fall days fill me with energy. I love to explore the city to the countryside with my camera. |
 |
The theme for fall food, definitely "comfort." |
 |
Fall decorating is filled with the warmth of autumnal hues. I love the organic touches of distressed wood, burlap runner and bittersweet. Candles in jars would be a safer bet though. :) |
 |
Welcome all! Don't you just love historic homes, and this one with it's whimsical railing is spectacular. I love how they have the wreath hanging on the door knocker. |
 |
Autumn is a wonderful backdrop for portraiture. This is one of my favorite candid shots of my daughter, taken at our family reunion a few years ago. |
 |
Autumn is natures warm embrace before winters chill. To see more of my Autumn pins, check out my Autumn board on Pinterest. |
