Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Over the weekend, Rob, Luke and I made a trip to Keller's farmstand in Oswego to pick out pumpkins! Keller's has a 30 acre pumpkin patch. We rolled a wheelbarrow out to the field and Rob scampered about, turning over pumpkins in search of what he considers to be the "perfect" specimen. I let him pick out my pumpkin: I was more interested in taking photos of Luke! It was a beautiful day, not too cold, clear skies, bright sun... Actually, the sun was rather aggravating. There are a lot of large circular lens flares smack dab in the middle of my shots. Plus it's not easy to get a proper exposure. But, I figure it is good experience! Thus, several of these I am sharing today are rather dissapointing to me. I am not going to put off the purchase of a lens hood any longer!


Luke had no idea what we were doing to him.




He warmed up after a few minutes, though.

When we wanted to explore a different part of the patch, we put Luke and our pumpkins in the wheelbarrow. It was too cute!

Ah, yes, I'd like to purchase these 7 pumpkins...

And for some general pumpkin-y pictures:









Happy fall!
