a pumpkin carved by life itself

2007.10.30
After a 7 year break (personal reasons), I am returning to pumpkins.

These round, smooth tabula rasa pumpkins are nice enough, but I felt no chemistry.

This one was under consideration when it said something so unspeakably rude that I had to file a complaint.

These two are obviously a pair. I wouldn't want to separate them.

The tattoos were cool, and it had a certain hip twist of the stalk - maybe if I was younger.

Then I saw it - a pumpkin that had taken chances. A pumpkin deeply shaped by the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. It's more then I can put into words, really.

My Pumpkin, found at last.

and the sky opened. and it was good.

????? I love it. Julia, your words always strike me. So poetic. You must keep writing and writing so that I may keep gobbling up your magic.

Amethyst I love your captions!!! And I love how you saw the spirit of the pumpkins in #4 -- most people would not have noticed that they were in love. Such a great set.
