Jack O'Lantern in the Pumpkin Patch

We visited Schnepf Farms for our annual trip to The Pumpkin and Chili Festival. Every year I take photos of Jack in the pumpkin patch and every year I am amazed at how much he has changed from the year before. There is just something about a little boy excitedly running through the patch from pumpkin to pumpkin looking for the perfect one. The light at the farm in the late afternoon is truly magical. The sun makes the pumpkins burn bright, the fields have a golden glow and Jack's hair shines the color of honey. Like growth rings on a tree, these photos are a record of who he has been and who he has become...
