Macro Monday Meets Monster Mash

It's Monday and here in the US it's also Halloween.  One of my favorite holidays since I was a kid.  What's more fun then dressing up in a costume and going door to door filling up a bag with yummy candy!

In honor of this holiday for my Macro Monday on Lisa's Chaos & 31 Days of Reflection I am show casing Halloween Ghoulishness.

Can you guess what this is?

This is a close-up of a Floormat that I purchased many years ago and decided it made a much better wall hanging. Who would want to walk all over something this awesome.
There is no artist listed anywhere on this rug and oh how I wish there was as I just love this piece and would like to know if there is anything else out there like it. 

Talk about "Scared to Death" this look pretty much says it all.  I edited this in Black and White for a much spookier effect.

Below is what this actually is:

It's actually a Styrofoam pumpkin. The stem was chewed off by one of our cats a couple of years ago so maybe that's how the look of fear arrived on this poor pumpkins face!

For my last musical reflection I am going with:  Monster Mash by Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Cryptkickers (don't you love the name of the back-up group).

Happy Haunting!

Macro Monday & 31 Days of Reflection minus a couple

Wow it's been a tough few days but I'm hanging in there. 
My mom is home from the hospital and doing okay but there are still issues I have to deal with like taking her to doctor's appointments, taking her BP and being the "worrywort" that I am I tend stress over the little details far more then I should. 

So here is my entery for Macro Monday over on Lisa's blog.

I was out taking photo's of "orange" items for another challenge and this was one of my Zinnia's.  As I was shooting photo's this  Box Elderbug walked onto the flower and I snapped a bunch of pictures.  I liked this one the best.  I love how this photo shows both the detail of the bug and the flower.

Hope you all have a wonderful week.  I will try my best to get around to comment on the other enteries. If I'm not able to leave comments on all your blogs I just want you to know that I really enjoy looking at your photo's.  Don't forget to pop over to Lisa's blog and check out all the other enteries.  There are some awesome shots there.

Since I've missed a couple of days now of my 31 Days of Reflection due to being at the hospital with my mom I thought I'd just pick up here today and continue on through the month as I am able to.

My selection for today: Obladi, Oblada by the Beatles.  Also used in a TV called, Life Goes On,  I think it's fitting given my life the past few days.
