Pumpkin Patch: Seven Oaks

Do you think this thing needs some wart remover?! WOW!! Look at all of those bumps! Is it no wonder that I'm crazy about goofy squash and gourds with all of their crazy textures?! FANTASTIC! This image was taken at Seven Oaks Farm in Central Point, Oregon on October 22, 2011.

One of the things I was really looking forward to was getting texture shots of pumpkins! I just LOVE THEM! Their deep grooves with interesting shapes and a variety of colors make me squeal with joy! YUMMY!!! This image was taken at Seven Oaks Farm in Central Point, Oregon on October 22, 2011.

Can you say cutie pie? This sweetheart was very happy to give me a big smile while she sat on the little tractor. Unfortunately, this picture is blown out but this girl's smile saved the day! This image was taken at Seven Oaks Farm in Central Point, Oregon on October 22, 2011.

One of the fun things at each of the pumpkin patches were painted pictures on wood with holes cut out for kids to pop their heads through for a cute picture. This beautiful little girl had a radiant smile to go with her fun face paint! This image was taken at Seven Oaks Farm in Central Point, Oregon on October 22, 2011.

It was hilarious watching the toddlers at the pumpkin patch. Many of them were a lot more interested in the DIRT than the pumpkins! This darling little girl had a wonderful time wandering around and enjoying the big orange things everyone was so excited about!

Totally cute, this beautiful lady was very happy to let me take a picture of her darling baby and even pulled her antennae hat on for a perfect shot! YAY!! This image was taken at Seven Oaks Farm in Central Point, Oregon on October 22, 2011.

We had a lot of fun taking pictures of kids carrying pumpkins, especially the really heavy ones. Brings back memories: "Janet, you can have ANY pumpkin in this patch, but you must be able to carry it all the way to the car!" My pumpkin would start out HUGE but as I made my way closer to the car...well...I'd exchange it for one a little bit smaller...and after another hundred feet, gee, that (smaller} pumpkin there is just the right size and it's not so heavy! LOL...when I finally got my pumpkin to the car, it was always about half the size of the one I started out with!!

Seven Oaks Farm had a very lovely country-style store where they had crates absolutely overflowing with all kinds of squash, gourds, pumpkins, and much more. I went completely crazy! Aren't these little squashes just wonderful?!!! YAY!!!! This image was taken at Seven Oaks Farm in Central Point, Oregon on October 22, 2011.

This absolutely adorable little guy has one of the very best smiles I've ever seen in my life! What a little doll! My favorite portrait of our photo shoot! This image was taken at Seven Oaks Farm in Central Point, Oregon on October 22, 2011.

I liked how shadows from tall grass fell upon this pumpkin, making interesting lines on it. This image was taken at Seven Oaks Farm in Central Point, Oregon on October 22, 2011.

What a beautiful smile on this boy's face! He was very happy to let me take his picture while his parents stood by! This image was taken at Seven Oaks Farm in Central Point, Oregon on October 22, 2011.

Do you think this gourd should have some more bumps on it? Because I just don't think there are enough!! :D I find it irresistable to touch these, what about you?! This image was taken at Seven Oaks Farm in Central Point, Oregon on October 22, 2011.

Can we talk about happy little girls for a moment? This cutie pie had the world's most wonderful cookie, and she thought the best place to be was sitting on a pumpkin while she ate it! Her parents were tickled that she was being such a show girl and were happy to let me take her picture too! This image was taken at Seven Oaks Farm in Central Point, Oregon on October 22, 2011.

Did you know how cool the skin of a honeydew melon is when you get REALLY CLOSE TO IT?! :D I've been wanting to take a close-up of one of these for a long time, yay!! This image was taken at Seven Oaks Farm in Central Point, Oregon on October 22, 2011.

I loved this scene...I hear a girl yelling, "Hey Mom!! I found my pumpkin!" I look over and see her pointing down at the pumpkin and staring off across the pumpkin patch, waiting for her mom. Mom didn't hear her. More yells and gestures. I then walked over and asked her to say, "CHEESE!!" She loved the picture when I showed it to her, and she should! She looked great!!
