Since Halloween occurred exactly one week ago from today, I thought I'd bring you the aftermath of our pumpkin carving endeavors.
@trang and I both carved pumpkins, as did her two friends Omar and Daphnie. Here is the final product, replete with demonic aura:
Can anyone guess who carved which design?
Here's another arrangement, this time viewed from the Philadelphia Streets:
This is what the inside of a carved pumpkin looks like, after having scooped out the guts:
The guts contain seeds. We separated and roasted the seeds:
Now I have breakfast!
For those who want a closeup of the Steem Pumpkin, here it is:
Also if you want to see the pumpkins on display before being carved, check out Cello to sooth the souls of specimens: a Steemian special performance.

We were at the Clark Park farmer's market and saw an Amish pumpkin dealer. I only had $7.00 but the pumpkin I had my eye on was $8.00 (the largest size available). The man was nice enough to settle for $7.

He knew your curving talent will show up, if he settles for 7$. A very kind Amish!

Nitecore NU25
Curious about how we illuminated the pumpkins from within? One rear bike light, one crap headlight, and two holy headlamps.
I cannot recommend the Nitecore NU25, i.e. holy headlamp, more highly. It is ridiculously light. However, you got to replace the bulky strap it comes with with ultralight shockcord with reflective tracer, like that from Litesmith. Then it'll weight in at ~1.2 ounces. Things that make this the best headlamp on the market:
Here's the NU25 on Amazon. Personally, I have the yellow color.
@intrepidphotos, you might consider investing in this headlamp for your adventures... although perhaps you already have a robust lighting system related to your photography?

My friend and colleague Ricardo Josué Romero-Moreno has sent news of his pumpkins this year. I am excited to convey the picture he sent me:

Happy Halloween!:))
To be honest I dont care about this holiday too much, but I really love pumpkin soup :DDD

Yes, pumpkin soup and pie are good.
There are many things not to like about Halloween. First, it encourages consumption of disgusting candies that rot one's teeth and predispose children to metabolic catastrophe. Second, it creates lots of littered candy wrappers. Third, it commissions the production of large amounts of plastic crap, that takes energy to produce and in the BEST CASE ends up in a landfill where it will sit for the next thousand years.
So yes, I AGREE, Halloween is really quite a horrid holiday.

Both of us actually! We didn't have our belt on, so everyone thought we were black belts.
