Halloween Decor from the ADT

 You know I'm not a big fan of Halloween.

But there were a few fun things from the American Discovery Trail hike that I pictured and saved for today.

I like this the best. These are huge black Elephant Ears, probably in the Colocasia genus. I really liked how dark these are.

They were part of the outdoor displays at the Krohn Conservatory in Cincinnati. They were not open when I walked by (first thing in the morning), and I wasn't willing to drive downtown later to visit. But I can put it on my list of places I'd like to see another time.

To go with the black, they also had orange.

In this one the early-morning light added orange tones to the landscape. Even the traffic cone contributed.

On the second day of the ADT, this rat (I think... ears seem big for a mouse) was guarding a stone wall. I liked that it was sort of spooky but understated.

I didn't manage to do very much today. Sigh.

See Best I'm Gonna Do
