A Month’s-End Associated Press (AP) Photographic Celebration Of: PUMPKINS
Today is the last day of the month of October, a special day for two reasons: It is the true and official Halloween, as opposed to grownup weekend-party Halloween, and it is once again the last day for Hmm Daily to download what remains of our monthly allotment of 30 photographs from the Associated Press (AP). Celebrate both occasions with this collection of PUMPKINS, the roundest of seasonal gourds.
