Creeping cucumber.
Pepino rastrero
The plant is especially prominent in southeast regions of the United States. The plant resembles the cultivated cucumber, possessing miniature yellow flowers, similar leaf shape, same leaf patterns, as well as similar growth patterns. The unripe berries strongly resemble minuscule watermelons. The ripe berries, which are black, have powerful laxative qualities when consumed. The berries, when unripe and light green can be eaten raw. Dogs are known to eat the leaves without any apparent side effects.
Size of the flower approximately 6 mm.

The dreaded spotted cucumber beetle (Diabrotica undecimpunctata) is green, or greenish-yellow, with black spots. Unlike its "lady" look-alike, the cucumber beetle has no redeeming qualities. Instead of eating the aphids on roses, the cucumber beetle eats the rose blossom itself. It can devour an African daisy, a poppy, or a lily in a day. Bad, bad bug!
The entrance to Seven Dials Market. A large shopping area over two floors with a food court. I think it is named in homage to the site's previous purpose as a fruit and veg market.
Sure, the light looked warm, but my fingers and toes disagreed wholeheartedly. I love how this place looks different every winter. The ice forms in a different way each year. I really love the little S-curve that the stream has taken on because of the ice blocking some of the natural flow. What a lovely sight!
Here's a shot of Cucumber Falls at Ohiopyle State Park last October.

A second view, from a somewhat different angle, of Cucumber Falls. This is probably the most iced over I've ever seen these falls (that I can remember) and I know it can get even more dramatic than this. I'm tempted to visit again very soon to see how the ice has grown...or shrunk.
Cucumber Falls last month under somewhat low water conditions. The lighting was perfect under heavily clouded skies and the blanket of leaves caught my attention.
Cucumber Falls is located along Kentuck Road in Ohiopyle State Park.
For 121 Pictures in 2021 #106 "Vegetable that begins with a "C"", these English Cucumbers came from a neighbor's garden. My cucumber plant is still only about a foot (30cm) high. Technically, these are fruits, but most people call them vegetables.
Given its proximity to civilization, easy access and sheer beauty, it isn't surprising that this place is crawling with people even on weekdays. So I ventured into the creek with my tripod to find a slightly different perspective

The Dutch expression "komkommertijd", literally "cucumber time".
It means a period with relatively little news to report.
Since I decided not to mow a patch of lawn a couple of months ago, all sorts of little wonders have started to appear, like this little cucumber spider
Cucumber is the big hit food for tadpoles and they love lining up like cows in a dairy. They do now have their early tadpole flake food but I couldn't resist trying a long section of cucumber just for the photo opportunity.

Not every spider has a picture of a guy wearing a red turban, sunglasses, and smiling with bad teeth, painted on it's rear end. Or is only me that can see it? 👀
A cucumber spider at its nest... or however it should be interpreted. The little spider has woven together a leaf in my lilac hedge and through it created a little home. Below the spider hidden in the tangle are what I understand to be its spider children that she (?) actively and tenderly protects. A diligent little rascal I must say... 😄
One of the Grey Butcherbirds frequenting our garden. The cucumber support provides a solid perch for this juvenile to have a good look around.
(Cracticus torquatus)
From the early summer... it is still flowering but not so photogenic, there is no hope of a better capture this year...

Ohiopyle State Park
Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania
Here's one taken a few years ago, when I had yet to shake some bad habits. Located not too far from Swallow Falls State Park in Maryland, which is located not too far from Blackwater Falls State Park in West Virginia. This is probably the best image I got while at this park, although there are plenty more to be had.
Macro Mondays theme : Water
Making a cool and refreshing cucumber water is quite simple and has many potential health benefits. However, this time it was for the simple pleasure of creating a nice photography.
Instead of plain water I used sparkling water and added a thin slice of cucumber measuring 1.5” in diameter. A small basil leaf is also floating on the surface of the water.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
