That's my pink & white spots shopping trolley!  The owner was a bit worried about that crushing his cash crop - but I was very careful.

Nice one Pat. I think we will have to go back alright. And Sean what an interesting piece of American/Irish history

Lovely painting, Patrick.   Great vibrancy between the warm pumpkin colours and the cool green leaves.  Interesting that it was Irish emigrants who invented the Halloween pumpkin.  They couldn't get their hands on turnips to carve out to hold a candle as they had in Ireland, the  nearest they could get was a pumpkin and the  tradition spread to the rest of the United States and to Ireland in more recent years
