Halloween? It Sucks

 
Is this pumpkin boycotting Halloween? Is he sucking on "Corinna"? That would be a brave, good pumpkin then, I like to see that "positive"...
 
 

 
Positive was the rain that helped against the grey by giving a (last?) boost:
 
 

 
On the way and right here to my left!
 
 

 
 And now... what is this?
 
 
 
 
The seeds said "poppies" but they look rather like loads of German luck, like 4-leaved cloverleafs... Big irony or... luck after all?
 
These guys were not so lucky:

 
 
 
Last Monday I took the route via the ever empty campus since a long while and noticed this welcome-post-it´s- creation for the new students 2020. 
Reckon they will remember their (at least) first two semesters not in a way they were looking forward to.
Wild parties, full auditorium, canteen-food... nada.

But... let´s stay positive in a positive way, the House of Science shows us a light!
 

 
 
Henry ๐Ÿฆ? He loves to see a bright(er) future, too!
 
 
 
 
To those who celebrate: Happy Halloween! ๐ŸŽƒ

Dearest Iris! Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful photos that talks so much about Autumn! Pumpkins, rains, and blooms! Today there is a big typhoon that will enter the Philippines. As per the Washington Post, it's the strongest on earth for 2020. I feel sad for those passed by the last typhoon just last week who's still flooded and guess what, this strong one will pass by them again, and us as well! Sending you hugs dear Iris and thank you for sharing your seaside memories with your mom and brother :)

I will certainly NOT celebrate Halloween. I don't like it at all. It does not belong in my country. But more and more people seem to think it does. The clover will bring luck, that's for sure

Tom said...

...things sure have changed!

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, dear Stevenson, that is scary news! I wish you ALL all the best!
Please keep us up to date!
Yes, your meme sure makes one dig in the past and find good memories in the sadness, too...

Bertiebo, same here... but, well... we go "global" and as long as it doesn´t hurt (though some throw eggs and stuff at houses wuo do not participate, not funny!).

That would really be a sign if those were clover hidden in my fav flower, the poppies!!!

Iris Flavia said...

Tom, yes, they always do, and mostly that´s good...

LOVED the vampire pumpkin. That was clever. That clover is unlike any I've seen before, but I sure like it. Lovely photos of your walk. Too bad the college is on lockdown, but I personally think that's for the best. Best for the students and best for their families they would infect when they go home on holiday. Glad Henry is looking for happier times, dear. Me too.

I notice how there seems to be so many lion figurines in Germany. Love it.

Jeanie said...

I love the vampire pumpkin! It's so clever!

RedPat said...

I didn't do any Halloween decorating this year. With all of the illness & death in the world I just wasn't into it.

Bill said...

Love the vampire pumpkin. You can give him a Corrina 2020 drink to celebrate. :)

I like the pumpkin. It was perfect for Halloween. Sorry your day wasn't exciting. Are you into lockdown? Covid is such a depressing thing right now.

Joan Elizabeth said...

The clover 'poppies' made me laugh.

Sami said...

Not a Halloween person either. Here in Australia it seems to be getting more popular with the kids.
I like that pink wildflower, but the poppies, certainly look more like clover. My poppies have start to bloom :)

Iris Flavia said...

Elizabeth, yes hope the pumpkin did his job! And we all get some luck and back to normal times rather soon...

gigi, we´re The City of Henry The Lion ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿงก

Jeanie, yes, one of the few to be found here, too!

RedPat, we neither, actually never...

Jan, thank you, and dito!

Erika, yes, partly lockdown. I doesn´t matter to us much, but all the businesses that have to close yet again, that´s a pity.

Oh, Sami, pics please, of your poppies!
Last time we were in Australia for Halloween (Carnarvon, 1999) there was not one kid trick or treating. Well, times are a changing!

Love the German 4 leaf clover. I am wishing for better times ahead.
Take care and stay safe!

PerthDailyPhoto said...

Oh that was funny Iris, a vampire pumpkin ๐ŸŽƒ They were certainly the strangest poppies I've ever seen. It's been raining all day here too, I looooove it ๐Ÿ’œ

Iris Flavia said...

Eileen I take it as a clover now and hope for the best, too!

Grace, first vampire-pumpkin to me, too and are those poppies? Rain, yay... ☔
