BLAZE! (aka The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze), Part 3

Traffic flow is much better this year as we move through the manor grounds. There's always a crowd, and if you want good photos, you need to take them without flash, generally. Make an exception and use fill flash if you want the folks you are with in your shot, but if you have a clean tissue handy, cover the flash with it so you don't get a huge whiteout. (Wish I'd had a tissue handy when we got to the new covered bridge...)









Also new this year is the safari section.









And there are some critters from previous years around, too, like the field full of snakes, and the fish.





And here, right in the middle of the fish section, we spotted this little gate crasher when someone's flash went off:



Another new and nifty feature was the set of jack in the boxes. I'll try to post a video of them later...



And, you exit through the gift shop and the food tent, where we always get a little silly with the pumpkins...















Happy Halloween!
