the autumn witch
Originally uploaded by Lars van de Goor

I am ready to leave for a short visit to my mother in Buenos Aires. Spring is in the air in Florida (Northern Hemisphere) and I am flying towards similar weather conditions in Argentina (Southern Hemisphere) where fall is about to start.
I found this amazing image on Flickr, taken by Lars can de Goor, which immediately caught my eye.

The witch is on the move, flying into autumn!

Do you have any creative witch photos? Please share a link!
