When I called it a night Saturday night the plan was for a quite day at home Sunday catching up on things, as the forecast I saw earlier in the day was for rain on and off, but when we got up was a beautiful day so we headed off to Liberty state Park at about 9AM, with our bikes, what a lovely park, we rode all over it and around the outside a couple of times, was a great relaxing day, but am rambling and will get to that when I get around to working through the shots I got probably next weekend, lets get back to the shot I posted, this is a closer in shot of the lemonade bottle from the previous shot I thought was really cool, I processed it last night but decided in the end to post the shot of the lady and the bottles and wasnt going to post this but since I was a little sunburnt and worn out from a day cycling and didnt get to upload the shots onto my PC last night will post this now,

This image is of Cucumber Falls and the ice bowl at its base. I was surprised to see as much actual water flow that there was mixed in with all the ice. I thought it looked pretty cool. Literally huh?
Cucumber Falls

These cucumbers are oval shaped and have green and yellow stripes on the outer surface. The inner flesh is juicy with many seeds.
Keep calm, is only a 4mm spider :D
Araniella cucurbitina, sometimes called the "cucumber green spider", is a spider of the family Araneidae. Females grow up to 6 millimetres (0.24 in), males only up to 4 mm (0.16 in). The spider is mainly found on forest clearings, where it weaves its orb-web between leaves and flowers. These webs are only about 100 mm (3.9 in) in diameter.
It was late afternoon and this cucumber vendor in the Bhaktapur Durbar Square was not having great luck.
With its spiky exterior and seedy, green flesh, the African horned cucumber may look a bit other wordly to those unfamiliar with it. Its appearance is so striking, it once moonlighted in an episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as a “Golana melon” from the planet of Golana. On Earth, however, the fruit grows in the wild across southern Africa. It’s also cultivated in Malawi, Sierra Leone, Kenya, and elsewhere around the world.
The immature fruit tastes a bit like a standard cucumber and can be pickled. Things get more interesting once it’s ripe: By various accounts, the gelatinous interior has notes of melon, banana, kiwi, and citrus. You can enjoy the fruit raw, roasted, sun-dried, or made into juice.
Here's an unripened one sharing a trellis with a grapevine. The skin will ultimately turn an orange colour. It is strongly advised to wear gloves when handling these.
At the end of April, the 5-6 petaled western wild cucumber is in full bloom in Cooper Mountain Nature Park, Beaverton, Oregon.

Three different shots of Cucumber falls. Went there this Saturday and visited a few more falls. They are flowing pretty good for winter
Two speedway cucumbers, 22 and 21 centimetres. In the process of growing them, I found this variety produces predominantly female flowers, so these might be the only two I'll get this year, since I wasn't able to get more flowers fertilized.
