I took this photo back in April when this Cypress Knee had just the right light shining on it to make it look like a Halloween cartoon ghost. The caterpillars were a scary bonus.

This prop gave me a start when I was walking down the exit road at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens a few weeks ago. It was closing in on sunset and there weren’t many folks around.
Staff had left partially assembled decorations lined up under the lawn pavilion, which is separated from the road by some shrubs. I’d probably still be running if it had moved.
