Picture of the Day for November 9, 2012

It is getting harder to find much color on these fall days after all the cold nights. The marigolds have turned brown in the flower beds after freezing and a walk through the brown fields displays other remnants of the summer’s passing. The once vibrant green foliage of the wild cucumber has vanished leaving a few brown vines with seed pods exposed. The wild cucumber is also called prickly cucumber, and this seed pod does look rather prickly!

Prickly Pod!
