This is a wonderful photograph! I'm not kidding when I say that this is my favorite photo on flickr... and that's up against some pretty stiff competition.

I love it!

Thanks for sharing.

I remember we had to be creative and make our own Halloween costumes. There weren't any Halloween shops to go to back then!!
