Once again, the houses on quaint Balboa Island were decorated for Halloween. It is always such a relaxing treat to walk around the island and see the way people have decorated their homes. They are so creative! It is also a nice relief from all the horrible news we have heard lately. Enjoy the picture above and I will add a few more when I respond to comments!

You see this decoration when passing other people's houses. Would you like to have a group of skeletons on your own balcony? I wouldn't, even though they seem to be a merry lot.

@MALUSE - Decorating with skeletons is very popular in the United States at Halloween. We have a strange sense of humor! Here is a photo of another one.

Those skeletons look like they need a drink to me.

@wolfgirl569 - Ahh, if you want a pet raptor, perhaps you should start with a giant plastic raptor, first. LOL Whenever I see that dinosaur, I think it is especially funny because it is there all the time in front of a very expensive home with a bay view. Not a common yard decoration in front of oceanfront mansions! LOL

@wolfgirl569 - Yes ... although they look like the kind of guys who might have trouble holding their liquor! LOL Here's another picture from the island. The funny thing about this decoration is that these people keep this plastic dinosaur in front of their multi-million dollar home all the year long!

Cool. I think it would appear scarier at night with haunting music, lightings and screaming.

@Daljinder - Yes, kids love to be outside at night for Halloween. They like to get a little scared ... but not too much!

The picture is neat, but I hate to think of the impression it gives of how slow service must be at that restaurant.
