Photo Challenge--Harvest Festival 2009
This weekend, Judy at The Road to Here is holding The Harvest Festival Photo Challenge, and I am excited to be a part of this event.
If you have not visited her two beautiful blogs, you're missing out on fantastic photos, and meeting a wonderful friend.
For me, harvest time begins with pumpkins. Though we don't have a Farmer Market around, the fruit and vegetable store I go to, served as one. They buy their fruits and vegetables from Michigan farmers whenever they can, and pass them on to their customer at a lower cost than any other stores.
All of my pictures in this post were taken at the store mentioned above. They always supplies ample of different things at this time of the year.

Oh my, I have never seen a ruby corn before, only right now! The colors of the corn are so attractive that I can't help but stare at them, no I don't wanna eat in case I find one here. What do you do with gourd?
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of gourds here the bitter ones, I stir fry it with stir fry it with meat and black beans tastes very exotic. Thanks for sharing Icy.
Icy, these are wonderful shots and really make Thanksgiving seem right around the corner. I'm ready to haul out my wonderful pumpkin cookbook to start baking and cooking. There are dozens of fabulous recipes from sweet to savory to main dishes to dessert.
ReplyDeleteAll these gourds and colored corns will make for fine holiday centerpieces.
I love looking at multi-colored corn. Pumpkins are always fun too. And I stopped to look at the gourds just the other day because I remembered them from your other post about them.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are great! Some of them look like paintings.
ReplyDeleteAnd my verification word is vivag... like vivid agriculture? How did it know?
I have never seen these colorful corns before. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteWow, great harvest pictures! That spider gourd is wicked cool and the darkest corns look like huge blackberries.
ReplyDeleteThe corn was amazing. Great post, BC.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful details! Love those colors.
ReplyDeleteI love these fall harvest shots! Gourds just make me laugh! I love their goofy shapes! They come in such wonderful colors, too! I have never seen a spider shaped gourd. Wow! Thanks for bringing a little bit of fall to me today. Don't see much of it here in AZ! LOL!
ReplyDeletewow, can't choose my faovrite picture Icy, they are all interesting shots, wow, never saw those forms, am glad your keen eye on seeing the uniqueness of things allowed us to see these beautiful things too.
ReplyDeleteWow Icy, I am impressed with the varieties! I love the corns especially. Nice!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great collection of harvest.
ReplyDeleteThe corn and gourd display in such a unique shape and colour.
That spider gourd is super! I'm seeing a lot of new and interesting gourds. I might just have to check out growing some fun ones of my own!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos.

Beautiful pictures. I do pumpkin soup too.
ReplyDeleteThe spider gourd is very interesting, never seen that size before. I also wonder if those corns taste the same as the regular white or yellow. They look like pearls.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make some cream of squash soup!
Sorry, for being late, mine was just posted last night.
