ABC Wednesday – P is for Pumpkin, Plus a Couple of Gourds

Flat Stanley purports these photos of primped and painted pumpkins present the perfect P post.

I couldn't keep the little guy away from this biker and his motorcyle.

Now, for the photos of Rasmussen Farms' creative pumpkins:

ff_rasm_p_swan_gourd

How's this for a perfect gourd-swan-transformation?

ff_rasm_p_godzilla

Godzilla walks again. Flat Stanley and I like the flames; they're on a wire perfectly positioned in front of the creature's mouth.

ff_rasm_p_elmo

Elmo is in pefect tickle position.

ff_rasm_p_bigbird

Big Bird is the grandest gourd of all!

ff_rasm_p_grover

Grover has always been my favorite Sesame Street resident.

ff_rasm_p_vampires

You can't get much more Halloween-y than vampires and bats, can you?

ff_rasm_p_giant

Well, he's wearing green and his face is green, but he doesn't look jolly to me, more like worn out and taking a rest.

ff_rasm_p_cavemen

Wild child Flat Stanley joins the Wild Thing Cave Men!

What's with the hair, Mr. Drummer Man?

ff_rasm_p_badhair2

Bad Hair Day explains it all. The lady in the beautician's chair appears quite calm. Perhaps it's because there's no mirror for her to see the mustachioed man as he approaches, comb and clippers in hand. What is that look on his face all about anyway?

    An amazing post! The biker and the swan are my favorite, and Elmo and Big Bird and the drummer, heck, love them all! :D

    Great photos! Looks like Flat Stanley is having tons of fun. I was worried about Stanley when that one photo from a few days ago said that farm dogs were loose...I guess Flat Stanley can even charm the dogs!!

    Thanks for visiting my NorthBayPhoto blog. Once the ice starts to form on the lake, I'll be sure to post some pics. It's been snowing overnight but warming up during the day so no snow is staying on the ground but that will change soon.

    That is fun, Lynette, seeing all the creative works that's been done with the gourds. And Flat Stanley enjoyed it all, too? He's a lucky guy.
