Who IS That Masked Tiger?

Fezzik: Why do you wear a mask? Were you burned by acid, or something like that?
Westley: Oh no. It’s just they’re terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.
~From the film The Princess Bride

It was Halloween morning, and shenanigans were afoot. Tiny Tiger wanted to wear a mask and visit the Arboretum, and so that is exactly what we did!

My husband says I should tell everyone there is no reason to be afraid - behind that mask is the same gentle, friendly tiger we all know and love!

We visited the lily pond, which is empty now except for reflections of trees (and tigers!). We hung out with Ferdinand the Bull and the owl in Childhood's Gate.

Mostly, though, we sat on some very pretty pumpkins and gourds, as you may see in the photo. Tiny Tiger says that it's a great time of year to be orange!  :-)

Here's a song for a masked tiger on Halloween: Annie Lennox, with I Put a Spell on You.
