I went to the Desert Botanical Garden Friday evening to attend an event called "Strange Garden". The last time they had this event was back in 2019 and it featured characters made from pumpkins. I featured posts of those here and here.
I was looking forward to seeing similar creative creatures but the event was a little different this year.
To the right is the decoration at the garden entrance.
The "Hocus Pocus" ladies were entertaining the youngsters.
There were skeletons and goblins strategically placed around the garden.
And, there as a display of reptiles and night creatures like this very handsome owl. I thought this was a great-horned owl but the handler said it was an Asian owl that had been living at the shelter for many years and is very used to large crowds of people around her. She is a beauty!
This event was very different than the pre-pandemic events. This was very much a family event and there were lots and lots of kids all dressed in costumes and having a wonderful time.
Blogger note: I found 14 comments that were made on posts in October of 2014 in my Spam folder yesterday. All were legitimate comments made by followers that were previously posted. Clearly, there is something strange going on with Blogger these days.

Sweet photos!
A fun place for adults and kids. Halloween only comes once a year.
Halloween and public events seem to be making a comeback this year. Nice Owl. I will check the comments folder, it had been better for a few weeks.
That owl is fabulous, Sharon.
Blogger does seem to be having issues again. It seemed to be good for a couple of weeks and now I find things in the spam folder too.
That is a very photogenic creature!
Halloween arrived a little earlier this year. :)
I love the vulture skeleton! How weird about the Blogger comments. I don't know why they can't get this commenting thing worked out.
Great photos, love the owl.
Such a great photo journal of the night.
What an owl!
The owl is stunning.
