Halloween 2013: Cuteness in Costume

Editor’s note: Since 2008, Myra Klarman, a professional photographer based in Ann Arbor, has been sharing with Chronicle readers her images from the annual Main Street Halloween Treat Parade. [Take a look at her photos from 2012,  201120102009, and 2008 as well.] This year was a bit damp, but trick-or-treaters – and Myra – were undaunted. We hope you enjoy the festivities – Happy Halloween!

Hap- Hap- Happy Halloween, let's go trick-or-treating,<br />And when we get back home, ya'll can start with the candy-eating,<br />But you know me, I ain't nothin but an old fashioned country bumpkin,<br />Gonna go out in the patch tonight,<br />And gonna harvest me a little fat orange pumpkin.<br /> (Dangit. But "yellow chicken" don't rhyme.)

Trick-or-Tweet! ... Wait a <em>minute</em>, where is Tweety Bird?? She was just here!

A good witch and a bad witch? Hard to say, but the one is blue is not going to let the cat out of the bag.

    Always a treat to join forces with you — your captions are such treats. And thanks to all the brave families who brought sunshine to these damp streets!

    I love the Snow White & dwarves! That is a level of cleverness and craftiness that I do not possess :)
