THE GLOW is a wonderland of 5,000 hand carved, illuminated pumpkins, landscapes, and larger than life jack o' lantern structures.

This fall wonderland astounded the two RV Gypsies as they walked through thousands of expertly-carved pumpkins. They took their time and enjoyed the intricately designed pieces throughout the trail, viewing different themes along the way. These glowing gourds were difficult to photograph because it was nighttime. The two RV Gypsies found this exhibit to be amazing, but wish there was a brochure telling how many pumpkins were in each of the expertly-carved pumpkin collages.

Below: The first pumpkin patch seen as the two RV Gypsies entered "The Glow". One picture was taken with flash, and the same photo was taken without flash. The scene actually seen through the eyes of the two RV Gypsies resembled the without flash photo, but of course not as blurry as in the photo below.

Below: Another pumpkin face taken with flash - one by a cell phone, and one with a regular digital camera. And although it was the same pumpkin face, they each came out differently. This is why Karen Duquette loves her camera.
