Some of my memorable and colorful photos have centered around children and pumpkins in the fall.

Sometimes these involved Halloween costumes, perhaps midst colorful leaves. Other times the photos simply consisted of my daughter, grandchildren or nieces with pumpkins they carved or have ready to decorate.
My nieces sold pumpkins from their garden for several years and had a mound of them near the road in front of their house. My husband took lovely photos of the girls midst their pumpkins.
I’ve included some of my pumpkin photos in the book I made, using scrapbooking techniques and my fall poetry. Those of pumpkins and youngsters definitely added interest.
I’ve mainly used this as a teaching tool in my scrapbooking and poetry classes. But I’d like to investigate self-publishing it.
During these lovely fall days, take your camera, find some pumpkins and arrange them with your youngsters for a photo opportunity. The photos definitely will create memories.
