Out of your gourd
I had great fun composing and executing shots of this spectacular display of ornamental gourds at the risk of some observers wondering if I might be out of my gourd!
As you may know, gourds are among the oldest cultivated plants in
history and there are many wonderful things you can craft 'out of your
gourd'! Not only do they make colorful table decorations, but once
properly air-dried to cure, they may be crafted into birdhouses,
musical instruments, lanterns, dippers, containers and much more.
This spectacular display of Cucurbita pepo (variety ovifera) was seen
at the Curtis Orchard pumpkin patch in Champaign, Illinois. They grow
20 acres of pumpkins and 5000 apple trees.

it's not a bad thing to BE a wee bit out of one's gourd...helps you think outside the box a little.
i love these guys and always do up a few centre-piece bowls with them...especially for my mom---to bring in the fall beauty. at 90 she can't get out into it as much as we used to (walks and hikes etc)
have a great day
