— Can’t wait to do it all again 🎃👻

🎃✨ First time at the MN Zoo’s Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular! The atmosphere was so cozy and fun: food vendors, music and dancing, s’mores, mini donuts, cider, and hot chocolate {the perfect combo for a chilly fall night 🍩🔥☕️}

Of course, the real magic was the walking trail lined with thousands of radiant pumpkins! 🎃 Hand-carved by 20 insanely talented Minnesota artists working with Passion for Pumpkins, a group who come from all sorts of creative backgrounds — ceramics, tattooing, visual art, and more. The detail and care that went into each pumpkin was/is absolutely unreal.

If you’ve never been, definitely add it to tonight’s {the final night of the season} or next fall’s bucket list — it’s pure autumn magic 🍁🕯️

Wishing to be back here. So many nature moments waiting to be captured by camera. I really appreciate the abstract feel of this image.
