Pumpkins

It’s that time of year again, late-October, when pumpkins seem to be everywhere – in fields and roadside stands, garden centers and grocery stores. Pumpkins are squash by another name with, usually, a color that make them outstandingly photogenic. Of course, some are not orange and some aren’t the usual plump round shape. Pumpkins are one of my favorite photographic subjects – here are a few of the photographs I’ve taken of them –

 

When fall is over and all the jack-o-lanterns have been carved many of those fields will still have pumpkins remaining, the rejects that will feed the deer and insects and bacteria and fungi. Until next year, good-bye pumpkins.
