Hunting for Pumpkins on a Wednesday walk (18 foto)

So, this week I needed to find pumpkins. I already had two copies at home, and one of them already was photographed by my daughter; as for the second... I already have pics taken a few months ago, and maybe I'll show them at the end of the post. Perhaps they are _too_ creative. I wanted to go out to find something new, something simpler. And I found it!

Yesterday we had a rather non-ordinary morning curriculum: my wife and I went to breakfast at a local cafe, not without a reason: we had an appointment there with IT-man who sold us a laptop. Yes! my wife became now a happy owner of big beautiful 17-inch Dell Precision 7720 (obviously, it is not new) which I hope will serve her well not only for watching movies but also for her job, for the next decade or so.

Needless to say, this was a good start of the day. We both felt extremely good (the shopping effect was working on us, haha!). And near the entrance to the cafe, I found exactly what I needed: pumpkins!

I think this is a very creative decor for a cafe, especially when you consider that Halloween is coming soon. I was lured inside certainly not by these pumpkins, but nevertheless - I appreciated them very much! They came to me in the right time. And now, thanks to the competition and my photos, and the fact that nothing is erased from the blockchain - these pumpkins are guaranteed a trace in history, isnt it nice? I think this is a happy end of their story. Below there will be a lot more pics of them from different angles.

That morning I took with me a vintage manual Soviet fisheye lens - which just provokes all sorts of experiments, turning each shot into an artistic one (and I think, looking at the photos, you will agree with me!)

There are only two varieties of pumpkins here, and there is no such variety as I saw in @deerjay post. By the way, check the gorgeous pumpkins he have found - there is even a 'peanut pumpkin' there, I think I have never seen such alive even once.

The photo below shows that rain is falling from the sky, the drops on the pumpkins are natural, not sprayed from a bottle. (Although generally speaking, I have nothing against carrying a bottle of water in my backpack - as thats definitely a very useful accessory for a macrophotographer, maybe even a must. Water droplets being added to the frame can greatly improve some photos. But I'm too lazy for doing that ...)

Pumpkin Mission Completed! After that, it was time to quickly run home, because - wait, wait a minute! - it was a normal working day, not a weekend, and no one canceled my office duties. But when you've got a fisheye in your hand ... it's easier said than done, it was rather difficult for me to put it back. Sometimes CF card filled with photos at 100% or a discharged camera battery helps in such a situation - but not this time. So, I had to remind myself several times about the job. I turned myself backwards, but still was looking around and taking shots of the autumn cityscapes. After all, it was a Wednesday Walk!
