I thought I'd better post this before it got too late in the year! I shot this Thanksgiving weekend at my sister-in-law's house.

Oh, this is wonderful and I love those colors. Just one warning about gourds...don't put them too close to apples that are covered in mold and schmutz. I learned that the hard way with those King's Apples I played around with. There were gourds in the kitchen and within a day they were soft and mushy because of apple rot! Who knew that apple fungus could be so aggressive!? Anyway, these are lovely and the light is just superb. I really like the fact that you get gourd bits but not an entire specimen. That just makes the composition pop for me. I really like the postwork too! This is such a relaxing photo.

Ah, a very colorful array of five very different gourds... Subtle postwork looks great...just right for the background. As kids, we were always talking about being out of our gourds:-))) So, what's the first thing I think about even today? Yup...

Wonderful color. I love the impressionist effect of the post work.

I don't know anything about gourds except if you put the dried seeds in an empty one it makes an excellent maraca. This is very colorful. Nice lighting and post work.

I'm laughing big time. I kept a big basket of dried gourds that looked just like this in my living room for 8 years and just tossed it all out to make room for the Christmas tree. I feel like they never left because here they are in all their glory. Wonderful capture.
