Gourds Abound

Driving through the suburbs and countryside, one
finds all kinds of decorative fare for Halloween.

I set up this still life with that in mind. The upper
left object, however is not a gourd, but a volunteer
muskmelon from my vegetable garden. I bury
kitchen compost out there and it decided that it
wanted to grow. It was too late in the season, though,
so it didn't have time to develop fully!
