Extreme Decorating

 Somewhere south of East Gwillimbury

One house and fenced-in yard. Really. Some of you might think this is over-the top, but I think this is...er, over the top too.  However I do confess I really did want to photograph it and...

 A few closer ups

 create a mosaic of some of the elements.

 Porch above the front entrance

Someone is crazy about Halloween, dontcha think?

Side yard

    HI EG I have to confess that I think it is tacky and ghastly however worthy of a photo shot.

    It's way over the top, and I can't imagine doing that to my home, but I can see why you wanted to photograph it. And you photographed it well.

    To say it's over the top is like calling Lake Ontario a pond!

    Makes for good photographing material though!

    I think it is neat to see all these decorations. Some people really know how to decorate and have fun. Thanks for sharing, have a happy week!

    Isn't it fun? We passed a place with extreme decorations. I just don't do i anymore. We don't get kids.
    I love your photos, though.

    Wow! I would say that is over the top. Everything is so jumbled together that I can barely make out what is there. No doubt you had fun trying to photograph it all.

    I get a laugh out of things like this. There are some Halloween nuts in Connecticut, too, but I have yet to see any down here in Naples.

    Might be over the top, but I prefer it to the cemeteries that so many people create in their yards...

    I bet is was great fun putting it all out and about, but cleaning it up and packing it away is going to be a real pain in the back, The is definitely over the top decoration but oh, so cute,

    It's a great exhibit to take pictures of. Other than that, it's quite insane…some people have too much time on their hands. :))

    Wow! I went out walking in our neighborhood yesterday looking for Halloween decorations and didn't find a thing... a pumpkin on a porch or two but that was it.

  33. RoseOctober 28, 2013 at 10:30 AM

    Can you just imagine getting all that stuff set up??? And where would you put it after you took it down. I will admit I would have been snapping like mad and Lorelei would have loved it.

    Suppose every community has that one place where more is more! I give them credit for enthusiasm, but I'll bet the neighbors dread each holiday. Do you know if they do the same for other holidays?
