Welcome to Seasonal Sundays.
Recently I went with one of my Girl Scout troops to see the Rise of the Jack O’ Lanterns at Westbury Gardens.
I was quite an amazing experience.
There were over 5,000 hand carved pumpkins.
Some were real.
Some were faux.
Some were scary.
Some were decorative.
But all were hand carved.
It couldn’t have been more appropriate,…
…since I was there with my Girl Scout troop,…
…that FOUR of the pumpkins…
…were dedicated to Girl Scouts!
We were so fortunate to have a glorious evening…
…to walk in the woods…
It was hard to choose…
…which was your favorite.
I think this was mine.
The detail was amazing!
Do you think this was for real???

What an amazing sight to see 5,000 carved pumpkins at one time...there is no way one could pick out a favorite!
What fun for you and the Girl Scouts!! They're all wonderful pumpkins. I'm hoping the "Tiffany, will you marry me?" Was for real! Thanks for hosting.
I am blown away by the taent of these people! I would have had a REAL hard time choosing a favorite. I bet the girls had a great time. XO, Pinky Thanks so much for hosting.

Alma it was so interesting to see all these beautifully carved pumpkins! The artwork on them is amazing. The Girl Scout pumpkins were so beautiful. I guess you know I'm going to say the Coney Island Brooklyn pumpkin scene is my favorite! :)

I would love to visit that. I loved the Girl Scout ones, but the proposal was pretty clever, too!
Amazing work by all.
Those are all awesome pumpkins! I love that one with the gazebo! I just watched specials on the Travel channel that featured places like this- in fact it may have been one of them! Its amazing! What a treat for you and the girls!
You are right the details on the pumpkins are amazing I like the floral one, not scary but creative. Laura
Wow...those are some unbelievably amazing pumpkins. Did they use colored glow sticks inside? Thank you for hosting SS!!
Looks like fun!
Had no idea what it was when you sent it!
My sister was Queen of Westbury Gardens when she was in college, lol! Long time ago!
Wow! That is fantastic. Thank you for sharing. How did they have them displayed? I would have a hard time choosing a favorite also.
WOW!!!!!
Oh my goodness, that is amazing!

Wow. Very impressive. Thanks for hosting..
Great jack-o-lanterns! That was some crafty carving! Thanks for hosting!
Wow -- these are awesome and amazing!!! What a fun evening for you and your Girl Scout troop. I like the picture taken in the woods with the trees and sky above -- really spooky looking. That one could be in a horror film. :D
I love the carved pumpkins and all the clever designs (the marriage proposal is awfully cute). Thanks so much for sharing these and for hosting Seasonal Sundays. Have a wonderful day!
