Your Epidermis is Showing

Now that winter's frozen gifts have departed, there is an array of land-locked flotsam and jetsam left behind. Soon after a snow drift finally melted, this translucent landscape resembling human skin was revealed.

The weight of six feet of snow, in addition to not replacing autumn decorations, lead to this quirky creation of nature and circumstance. This is (was) a beautiful, squat pumpkin with a lovely color known as the Fairytale Pumpkin (or Musquee de Provence, Cucurbita moschata). Hefty and shaped like a big wheel, these are a long-lasting fall fruit. Well... except under the weight of a snowy winter.
