Still no writing time. Instead please enjoy pictures from the last day of our big Halloweekends trip last year. I'm being a little more judicious in my sharing of pictures this time but don't worry. There's way more I could make you look at instead.

Sunday morning we had lunch in the park while watching a school (high school? college? who can say?) cheer group putting on a show on a small side stage.


P1140568.jpeg

Here's my poignant shot of one of the performers off to the side, alone, for some reason that probably is as simple as her part wasn't up yet.


P1140571.jpeg

Corkscrew bestriding the midway, with the Top Thrill 2 reverse tower in its center.


P1140572.jpeg

Noticed some nice flowers at the park despite it being late October.


P1140576.jpeg

Not sure if there's a bee in the picture somewhere or if I just did a depth-of-focus thing on the flower here.


P1140582.jpeg

Feeling more confident now that I took these pictures just because the flowers with a bit of amusement park far beyond was scenic or something.


P1140584.jpeg

What if you were barely an inch tall and someone noticed you wandering around the midway near Corkscrew? How about that?


P1140590.jpeg

Always fun to encounter old telephone logos around the park. I can not understand how they have the pre-Saul-Bass Bell System logo on any still-legible sticker.


P1140597.jpeg

While waiting in line for the Calypso we noticed the Skeleton Crew doing their acrobatics show at the Boardwalk stage.


P1140603.jpeg

Really like this moment of one of them midway between the light fixtures.


P1140611.jpeg

Another moment of the Skeleton Crew bouncing between Calypso light fixtures if you don't know about perspective.


P1140612.jpeg

I don't know how I got a double exposure here. It seems like the same weirdness of that beach picture and the guy walking past the sun.
