The Ugly Pumpkin

Fall is my favorite season back at home.  So over the weekend, I headed back to enjoy some fall activities and breathe in the crisp, fall air.  My family and I went pumpkin picking, and instead of picking a pumpkin that is the orangest, roundest, smoothest, and biggest pumpkin of all, I chose the ugliest and strangest shaped one I could find (I figured every pumpkin deserves to have its day and glow to its best potential...right?)  Well since the shape looked similar to a dinosaur head in my opinion, I made it a raptor.  After a painful amount of time gutting the pumpkin, I started carving and this is how it turned out.

Present for DAD

I really enjoy photography, so I decided to make my Dad something for Christmas using the new camera I received for my birthday.  I took individual shots of his Harley and put them all together to form a full photo of his bike.  Then, I placed it into a shadow box and hung it in his office.  This is what it looked like before I placed it in the box.
