Eileen shares 2023 Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular photos taken in Providence, Rhode Island at Roger Williams Park Zoo
“Linda and I discovered this totally fun event a couple of years ago and now we make the effort to go every year. The theme changes but the experience is the same as it takes us back to fond childhood memories of anticipating the excitement of Halloween. Living in the city, I collected a ton of candy and used a pillow case as most bags or buckets were just too small! I remember dumping it all on my bedroom floor and then organizing by candy type. I could trade the ones I didn’t like or leave them until last! My Favorite was Milky Way and Caramel Cremes. A person on our street was a sales person for M&M Mars and they always had FULL SIZE bars. There was a line at that house 🙂 A Wise Potato chip distribution facility was down the street and everyone on that street had a variety of chips so we always saved that street for last so the chips didn’t get crushed by candy. Fond memories of Halloween for me.

Melbourne Florida, that is.

Do not disturb. Sea Turtle at work. Laying eggs.
Thank goodness for a zoom and a shutter that stays open a bit to capture the scene click here for some tips to follow during Sea Turtle Nesting Season
We hurried back to the motel so she could have some privacy. I can’t believe we actually saw her.

“How many eggs do sea turtles lay? The number of eggs in a nest, called a clutch, varies by species. In addition, sea turtles may lay more than one clutch during a nesting season. On average, sea turtles lay 110 eggs in a nest, and average between 2 to 8 nests a season.”

Guest blogger Eileen from Massachusetts went with her family to
Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular at
“Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island. They do this every year for the month of October. It’s a walk through the woods surrounded by Jack o’ Lanterns. This year’s theme was television through the decades. Started with 1950’s. Ended with 2010’s. From Sgt Bilko to Game of Thrones. In between were some familiar ones to me; Addams Family, I Love Lucy, MASH, etc. Lizzie and Kevin needed us to identify them. 😀”
Great job capturing the thousands of Jack-O-Lanterns. Thanks Eileen. Looks like a wonderful evening and happy we could join you virtually.
