A Yard decorated for Halloween

This was a quick drive by that I captured from the passengers side of our car through the window. I didn't realize until after I viewed this picture that I caught a real person too with back turned behind the spooks and goblins in a yard decorated for Halloween in town. I loved how two maple trees with beautiful autumn leaves intertwined and framed this decorated Halloween yard scene. Many of the leaves are gone now and glad I captured this during its peak.
