Pumpkin Fest 2011 Damariscotta, Maine

Posted on October 9, 2011

This year the Damariscotta Pumpkin Fest happened to be on my birthday.  Well, at least one of the days landed on “my day” but the Pumpkin Fest spans several days around Columbus Day weekend.  It felt like summer, with temperatures reaching 81 degrees!  I decided I was going to focus on street photography rather than taking photos of every single carved and painted pumpkin as I have done in the past.  I did take some pumpkin shots, but since I had my 85mm lens on and there were hundreds of people milling around, I wasn’t able to get in very close.  But that’s okay, I’m pleased with the outcome.

I’ll start with the Pumpkin shots.

And here is a child pumpkin, which I thought was sooo cute!

My favorite part of this event is the children and adults dressed up or just the expressions on their faces as they wait for the parade to begin or while they are watching the parade.  Of course, those in the parade are also fun to see.
