Back for a second visit

Back for a second visit

These children (and another, standing behind them) came back for a second helping of candy. We think they might have done this last year. Doesn’t happen very often, but when it does, one wonders what sort of response most households return. Or perhaps most people don’t really look too closely at the trick-or-treaters.

I’ve never taken photographs of trick-or-treaters before, but recently bought a new camera and wanted to try it out.

The girl was carrying a blue plastic pumpkin. Not sure what that means, if anything. Some people would like it to mean the carrier is autistic, but that’s a social media fad. The Canadian Autism Association disapproves of using blue pumpkins as a signifier of autism.

Blue pumpkins, left by householders on their doorsteps, are also taken to mean the presence, in the household, of allergy-free treats.
