Sunbathing Gourd

First of all, my apologies to all my New England friends! I know how badly you all want to see sun right now! Just heard on the Weather Channel that
there is severe flooding in Worcester, Massachusetts, the area I grew up in! Trying to reach cousins in New Hampshire to see that they are all alright!
But we are having a sunny, gusty, windy day here in Pittsburgh! The perfect day for hiking in the woods. And yet, I have friends coming to stay
with me in a little over a week, so I felt compelled to... clean! EKK! Enjoyed the sun on my balcony, along with my little gourd here!


other sizes: small medium original auto

Very nicely composed (and exposed). Great colors also.

Very nice contrast of color and texture, Mindy, both lifted by the great sunlight.

A beautiful little sun worshipper contrasting so nicely with the blue sky. This should instill hope in those northeastern hearts,

That is studio quality sharpness and light. Excellent work, Mindy. GMV. Great framing, too.
Mindy McNaugher16-Oct-2005 03:07
Karen, you know you're welcome down here! We can have a western PA PaDfest!!
Karen Leaf16-Oct-2005 03:03
Some -major- flooding in Worc. My BIL Pete had to go into work in Worc because of 3 feet of water in their plant--not good for machinery :( Lots and Lots of rain.... 9+ days. Should be over tomorrow, but now calling for high winds... I worry about the weakened trees around the river banks that have loosened root systems....
I'll take your blue sky and peanut brittle balcony :) Thanks for the well wishes.

Stunning image Mindy....beautiful.
Cindy Flood16-Oct-2005 01:35
The fall colors of the gourd are wonderful against the bright blue sky.
fotabug16-Oct-2005 01:34

Yep, it is a beautiful day in western Pa. Mindy and this is a great shot against the sky! Hoping our NE friends dry out soon!
Sheila15-Oct-2005 22:44
The angle you have taken it from makes it look like the pumpkin from Cinderella :-) It looks huge.
Beautiful image.
Gayle P. Clement15-Oct-2005 22:34
A beautiful gourd against a gorgeous sky. I would do anything for a little cool fall weather.
SRW15-Oct-2005 21:52
You have a wall made of macadamia nuts! And I love the fact that there's an upside-down orange oak leaf etched on the gourd. Clear, beautiful picture, on a clear, beautiful day...!
laine8215-Oct-2005 21:36
Superb composition. I know a few pbasers who would love to see that sun right now....
Mindy McNaugher15-Oct-2005 21:22
Lee, didn't lift a finger to help! After all I've done for it!! ;-)
Lee Rudd15-Oct-2005 21:21
ahhh, but did the beautiful gourd help, or just sit on the balcony sunning itself!
Guest 15-Oct-2005 21:16
Mindy, The clarity of your photos is always an amazement to me! You are SOOO talented! Beautiful contrast of colors...a wonderful fall photo :)
