Happy Sliders Sunday!

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.

I saw this the other day at the flowers nursery, love all those colors and variety.

Happy Slider Sunday!

Love the shapes and colors - just used filter to increase detail and saturation.

Amazing how the produce of autumn matches the colors in the surround like tress and grasses.

A yellow zucchini blossom starts to bear fruit as summer progresses.

The Fall season is full of beautiful colors.

This was growing down by the river....I don't even know what kind it is. I do not know weather it started from a discarded seed or it might just be a wild variety that perhaps the indians were familiar with. Anyway I thought it was rather interesting to ponder. I did get rather adventurous and tried the largest off the vine and quickly spit it out. BITTER!!!!!.....LOL!!

LARGER is ALWAYS BETTER!!!!

Cucurbita

A somewhat crestfallen yard light after being ever so slightly squashed long ago.

A vegetable, verb. drink or sport. Complexity with English language.

Acoorn squash. Take out seeds, bake at 350 about 40 min,. can add maple syrup, brown sugar butter. spices or nothing!

On so many levels!

One of those days where, though not working I'm thinking how on earth am I going to fit everything in! The photo, being obstinate and refusing to take the macro lens off except for the rare landscape photo meant that even though this slither of ( huge) squash was the other end of the table I still couldn't squash it into the frame for a photo.

Sometimes I think it's just better to accept defeat, accept that I'll do as much as a physically can today and the rest, will inevitably have to wait til tomorrow!

At least it's dry and the washing will more or less sort itself out!

Thanks for stopping

This is a side view of the squash flower and obviously the squash attached too.

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.
