Counting Crows? No! Counting Pumpkins!

Yesterday, while taking a lunch break, I enlisted my younger brother to help me with a project. I wanted to walk completely around one block here in the Borough of Lansdale and simply photograph and count pumpkins - The results are as you see below.

Tori - I really wish you could see this - it is a slide show showing 36 pictures each with a pumpkin or two on peoples front lawns, steps, and porches.




My brother reports, for the 27 buildings that we saw in our walk around the block, there were 119 pumpkins - which means there were 4.4 pumpkins per building!

And while we didn't see this one, this is my favorite pumpkin -

Counting pumpkins is better than smashing pumpkins!

Love the slide show! There were some cool looking white pumpkins in one of the shots. I don't think I've ever seen white ones before.

I was reading yesterday, and apparently, unofficially, Illinois is the pumpkin capital of the US, with some huge pumpkin farms down in Peoria and that area. Who knew?

The last pumpkin was definitely the best looking of them all. Maybe you'll catch a glimpse next year.

LOVE the slide show. Also thought the white pumpkins were awesome. I've never seen white ones. And that last pumpkin looks so familiar! LOL
