The pumpkin is still somehow going somewhat strong though its starting to show significant signs of decomposition and because of the falls its had, it's a bit fragile now.
Not sure how much longer it'll be around but it's amazing it's made it this far.
My pumpkins this year weren't so lucky. One barely made it to December and the other two were still looking quite good up until a week ago when the squirrels ate the top half of both of them. Oh well.

And if p002.bmp exists, enable a next button. You could set this up at the gallery start by iterating until... more
I think it's the image rotation thing on the RCMRRC website. IIRC, it found the images in the folder, assigned numbers and kept iterating to change the pictures. I could be misremembering, though.
