North Shore Halloween Display

A Halloween display near Belfair State Park (see photo) has just about everything: ghosts, goblins, Jack ‘O Lanterns, witches, scarecrows, and a collection of stuffed raggedy harvest figures. The only things missing are a black cat and a skeleton or two. The strings of small red lights likely add a spooky touch at night although I don’t know that for sure. In case there are any malevolent spirits about, I took the picture during the relative safety of early afternoon.

Clearly the family who lives here likes to decorate their road frontage on Hood Canal’s North Shore Road. Last February in A Thousand Icicles I included a picture of the icicle tree they created in the same spot. They also go all out at Christmas with lights, snowmen, and hanging snowflakes. But the Halloween display, with its party atmosphere, might be the most impressive of the three.
