Ray Villafane is a world renowned artist who carves pumpkins. I first discovered him in the tiny town of Carefree, Arizona in 2015. While especially notorious for the faces he carves, I love the personalities he creates with the vines.
Enjoy my contribution to: Orange in October.
Orange ya glad I stopped by?
Look for him in Wickenburg, AZ this year for a whimsical pumpkin hunt.

I know. me too. They won’t be in Carefree anymore . I am sure you saw that too. The Wickenburg trip looks interesting, but we won’t make it in time.

Pretty darn cute. I’d never heard of him. Too bad he won’t be in Carefree this year.

There will be lots of that as they live just a few blocks from the beach. 🙂 The company’s the reason but the rest is great as well. Just have to survive the awful traffic at both ends first.

Oh my goodness! these are too fabulous!
I thought my favourite image of pumpkins were mounds of them stacked together, but these take the cake! Love the composition with The Lost Mouse.
