Raven of the Bayou!

  "The Raven" has invaded the Bayou!  Edgar Allan Poe's poem is the basis of part of the Second Annual Clue Hunt on the Bayou so I have been playing with a lot of the artificial crows and ravens that folks use as Halloween decorations.  The Little Bayou House is in the midst of its transformation from boring, everyday dwelling to something a bit eerie and mysterious.  The entire place will receive a dreary "makeover" and stay that way for the next month or so. 

  "The Raven" is one of my favorites of Poe's works so it is only natural that I included it in this year's hunt.  Five other of his tales make up the rest of the clues but most of the decorating will center around ravens and crows.  Mention "Poe" and, immediately, all thoughts seem to automatically turn to ravens.  Edgar Allan Poe and Ravens are synonymous, it seems!  So, I am literally using hundreds of crows and ravens!

  The above photograph was taken as a "teaser" for those that will be participating in the hunt.  I thought that the blue tint gave the picture a bit of mystique!  My raven looks like he is out and about on a foggy evening on the Bayou!  Yep, just the touch to build a bit of excitement for what is to come!
