My mind wanders reminiscing of past November memories. Autumn always brings beauty,imposing and glorious. This year Nature exhibts such a range of sublime colours!

I've never seen so many browns, greens + oranges. On Halloween morning it was truly breathtaking with an added bonus of a magical red/orange sunrise. As I walked Falling Leaves trailed + floated about me, tumbling and descending. Steadily increasing in number, they have transformed my little street into a patch work quilt.

With each step exposing + altering this random pattern. Such a wonderful morning, makes me think back to primary school when we went on nature walks to observe, and collect those fallen prizes.

I've always loved the Halloween season. When I was a child my favourite parts of festival were "dressing up", "trick or treat" + the "The Dunking bowl"

Does dunking your head into cold water to Bite pieces of apple in the hope to win a mere 50 cent seem appealing?

For these past three years I have escaped back to the freedom of my childhood and dressed up for all the halloween parties. This year was no exception. My costume is half home made and half bought, I sewed a lining for the lace dress (otherwise indecent). My attempts of sewing turned out to be alot better than I had predicted especially considering I was always the worse student in "Home EC" class (My closet at home is filled with half finished jumpers, skirts and tops).

The beginning of the night we danced on stage in the "temple bar music centre" to our beloved Dublin salsa crowd.

A little later we dressed for the party.

I'm usually armed with a digital camera and nothing escapes it's mind's eye. Although often the more important moments are captured in ones memory.

The evening on which this picture was taken my camera had passed around the entire room finally returning to my possession.

A enthused volunteer took the camera and signalled us to pose. I tried to instruct this photographer how and where to angle the camera (as you can see). He took the photo unaware of our requests.

This is my strongest reflection of the night.
