As I reached for the squash to make that pie for the upcoming Thanksgiving... I realized I be on short as the Sun has wilted it.

A fall selection at Strawberry Hill Farms in Chesnee South Carolina. The farm is noted for it's peaches. Notice the squash in the center that appears to have two eyes, a nose and a mouth.

Fresh from my garden and oh so lovely. I was giddy with joy to work with these this morning. The lines and curves made me swoon. I tried to create a composition that showed off the shape and beauty of the blossoms.

I've been off for a bit as my computer died and I'm in the recovery process …

Taken from the Tower of Squash at the 10th Annual Heirloom Exposition in Ventura, California. The Exposition celebrates the history, preservation, and cultivation of heirloom varieties of fruits and vegetables free from genetic modification. The huge number of different types of “heirloom” fruits and vegetables was mind blowing. I had never seen or heard of nearly all of them.

Not traveling a lot these days. Finding beauty in my front yard.

I havested our last squash today. We put a few slices into our veg mix along with some apple and sultanas. Delicious.

This squash is a bit of a free spirit and started growing on the wire fence and now looks like it has built it's own cradle.
