Halloween, 2015


October is a beautiful month here at the beach.  With the exception of a nor-easter in the early part of the month which stranded us for three days while high water surrounded our little house, the month has been kind with many warm days preventing us from dwelling on the coming winter.


On my birthday we went looking for a hint of Fall color and landed at Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge.  We were rewarded with some color and a beautiful sunset.




Leaves beginning to change color in Prime Hook.


It is always a privilege to be present for such a sunset.



Our Bethany Beach landscapers added a "graveyard" to the holiday decorations this year.








And we added a dog to our Mr. Bones scenario in our neighborhood.






I read that Delaware's spookiest cemetery is located nearby in Frankfort, DE.  We went hunting for it with our cameras ready.


These lawn ghouls were about as scary as anything else we saw.


The cemetery is named for the Long family.

Many stones belonged to people named Long.

The cemetery is located on Catman's Road. Catman was the old cemetery care taker who reportedly looked like a cat and haunts this graveyard.  Happy to say he was not around while we were there.



Creepy, enough.
