Your pumpkin is so nice and bird must be so reserved around a real pumpkin! Ours always ends up with various random chomp marks from the avian pumpkin fiend and the unskilled human carvers butcher even the simplest of jack-o-lantern faces:rolleyes: Needless to say, we never end up with such a nicely/intricately carved and un-mauled pumpkin:(

This is just for fun, as I suck at editing photos.

They are cute, sort of a Yin and Yang! Why not make it an official entry?!

I agree! You're selling yourself short. This definitely deserves to be an official entry.

Just for fun!!! Posting these from Tapatalk for the 1st time, so let's see how they come out. Took these last Halloween (as you can see by my avatar), but thought they'd fit in, here. I was being a total clown.

Love your "Just For Fun" pic, Doc! I can't believe Jolly and Maya are okay with your costume, beautiful bond you have with them.

Excellent entries, Folks! Keep it going!

Here’s Gus in a different light ... the infrared.

His Master is an electrical engineer who did R&D with infrared cameras. He picks up old cameras on eBay and repairs them, and we sometimes set them up to watch the night creatures. But they also work in the daytime! The white image is Gus, with the warmest parts of him the brightest. In the background is the color reflection of the room on the surface of the monitor, and you can make out Gus’s reflection on the right side.

This is a picture of Sydney from a few years ago during Hurricane Sandy when I lost power for a few days. I certainly found ways to entertain myself, and Sydney was more than tolerant of my antics when I was bored out of my skull! But this became my favorite Halloween photo I've taken.

Spooky Sydney. :)

Thanks, Huckleberry! Yeah, I was surprised too! I let them watch me put it on, but I still expected a little apprehension or something. But they acted all ho-hum, like they didn't know what the big deal was. Hahaha!

Hey, Kentuckienne! Just letting you know I see the pic just fine. That is SERIOUSLY creepy! Love it!

These entries are way over the top! Fabulous photos, Everyone! Thank you for making this contest memorable! It will be impossible to vote for just one bird but we'll give it our best shot.

The cuteness is off the scale! Most adorable hamster costume I have ever seen:)

I have no idea how we are supposed to only pick one entry this month, y'all have hit it out of the park!
