Springtime Halloween

In our neighborhood, we have a few trees whose leaves are changing colors as if it were Fall. The tree in the video below has a rather black trunk, so perhaps the Fall colors are due to some type of inherent health issue? Or, I did read that late frosts can sometimes alter the pigmentation of Spring leaves. We have had 3 frosts so far this Spring.

Anyway, it's kind of fun to have a taste of Halloween in the Spring. Maybe someday, I'll create a 'Springtime Spirit Grove' display. Young Marrow does something like this in his backyard down in New Zealand.

Haunters already hard at work

The famous Pumpkinrot writes that he will not be blogging for the rest of May since he'll be devoting almost all of his free time to working on a big project. Check it out here.

The House of Marrow has released his first teaser prop of the year. Pretty creepy. Check it out here.

Just in case you thought I was the only one who noted the half-way point to Halloween. This talented 'haunter' is from New Zealand, and he builds one display at Halloween and a second display half-way through the year.

Here's his April 30th post, which gives a brief history & description of his 'Point of No Return' displays:

And here's today picture-filled post:
