That's what this post is about, creative pumpkins. The Pumpkin Art Tour on Oak Bay Ave looked amazing. From the looks of it, most of the work was done by a professional artist.
I want to focus on those who aren't professionals in Victoria. I'm amazed at how talented and artistic people are in this city who don't live in Fernwood. I mean, you only get one chance with a pumpkin. It's not like you can bust out an eraser.
Myself, I'm terrible! And that's why I'm so jealous of these amazing pumpkins.
Anyways, I'll stop babbling and let you see the best of the best pumpkin carvings from Victorian's this year. Thanks to everyone who has allowed their pumpkins to be published on the site. If you would like to submit your pumpkin, Tweet me or send me an email.
