Boise in the fall

I know people travel to Vermont and the east coast in the fall to view the leaves. Well, thankfully, all we have to do is go on a walk. Boise is amazing in the fall!This is just out our front window:And this is just out on the main street:

There are a few streets around here that have really old, Victorian-era mansions on them (interspersed with some normal-sized houses, too). Apparently they are THE streets to do your trick-or-treating on. That being the case, there are some pretty fun Halloween decorations.
I thought these spiders were fun. I was just going to take a picture from the sidewalk, but Kevin made fun of me for being scared to walk up the front walk towards the giant spiders. There's a reason these pictures were all taken in the day time.Some of the decorations are a bit hokey, like this inflatable ghost. But I LOVE the landscaping at this house. It's right near our apartment, and I walk by it and ooh and aah all the time.This one showcases my awesome photography skills. If you look really close, the wind chime is little skeletons. (!!!)

This next one is kind of plain, but I thought it was pretty:

Then these next ones are getting a little more awesome. This first one has great Halloween decorations, but I think it would be a beautiful house all year round. I mean, porch swing, folks!

Coolest by far:

I wouldn't trick-or-treat at this house. They'd probably have someone sitting on the front porch pretending to be dead or something.

Heads on stakes!

And then this last one is my absolute favorite. I will not be heading in this direction on Halloween night, but taking pictures during the day is just fine!

That's a lie. I wanted to stick my camera through the gate to get a better view of all the ghouls and skeletons inside the yard. But I got scared. Seriously! The skeletons look like they're going to have motion detectors in them and start laughing or howling at you when you get close, and I didn't want to risk it.

So I did get this blurry picture through the side gate:

This was a random little friend we met along the road on our walk:

And this is the little autumn apple of my eye!No, a picture post would never be complete without a picture of Penny. :)
