Happy Hallowe'en

 

I chose this image for a number of reasons:  the leaf is orange (a Hallowe'en colour); the shadows of the round leaves behind the main one make a face somewhat like that on a pumpkin (at least in my mind); the leaf points above the "eyes" remind me of a cat's ears (another symbol of Hallowe'en) and finally, the leaf is a maple leaf which represents Canada and this is a time to think of our fellow Canadians (as well as people of all countries) while the coronavirus continues to spread.

Another object that I found while touring my local cemetery is this plaque:

Roughly translated, it reads:

Think about what never dies -

Think of the stars and the sun

which always will be present -

Think about nature and its beauty

which always defy time -

Think about love that you hold -

And remember that always

it will live in you.

Happy Hallowe'en, stay safe, keep well!
