I increased contrast and saturation slightly. Otherwise, as shot!

As we approach Halloween, the withering Autumn landscape of Punchinello Prairie Wildlife Santuary is growing deliciously spookier! When processing this photo of yesterday's lovely sunset, what should appear but a Jack O'Lantern Cheshire Cat visage hiding amongst our Cottonwood trees!

Did it arise from the depths of Halloween Heck??? No, in reality the eerie face was a reflection in my window of a pumpkin in the room. Still, how delightfully wicked it is!

Now if only our never-occupied, decrepit bat house had sent a flurry of bats across the landscape just at that moment! Ah well, we can't have everything.
