Every year at this time, the Desert Botanical Garden has an interactive Pumpkin Patch that is a big hit with kids. Being a "big kid" at heart, I usually go to take a few pictures. They start with a "hay ride" that takes you out to the patch and then there is music, games and contests for the kids to enjoy along with a huge selection of pumpkins. All kids under 12 can take a free pumpkin home with them. This year they also had a group of expert pumpkin carvers who were at work on these pumpkins. These guys do a pretty good job of creating some scary faces.

Very artistic and fun.
Hahaha, anything to keep from cooking them, huh?!?!?! We don't do Halloween downunder quite so much - but if we DID, I'd be sure not to have these guys hanging around to scare me out of my wits!!!
The carvers are very good at their job.
The carvers are real artists. What wonderful scary faces.
Very artistic indeed.
I see they have some excellent carvers there.
Rather better than anything I've ever achieved.
What patience is needed!
They do an incredible job!
Those are the most creative carved pumpkins I've ever seen! To transfer an idea in your head to a pumpkin takes a special skill, I think.
I am sure this was a lot of work and not easy. Good job.

I used to think I was a pretty good pumpkin carver, but my best pumpkins pale beside the big one on the right.
Artistic carvers, indeed!
We missed that when we visited the DBG today and, though I looked everywhere, I unfortunately did not see you, Sharon.
Great place though and Gertrude's is justifiably well-known for it's chef's food.
These are amazing. I would love to be able to make one like this.
Pumpkin carving has become such an art these days... love those!
A bit scary, but very artistic, nice job!
Oh la la! Too scary for me Sharon :))
