Wild Cucumbers

Fruit is forming on the wild cucumbers along the marsh road.  Her reaching vines have attached and wrapped around anything near, like the cattails pictured above.   Her prickly pods are not the most inviting.  Protected inside are four seeds.  

Enjoy!

Fruit of the Morning

Early morning dewdrops bring a new perspective on the world.

Like the fruit of the morning.

Enjoy!

Jack is Turning Red

Jack-in-the-pulpits have formed fruit.  Along the marsh road the berries are bright red.  The fruit might be tempting, but don't give in, it is poison.  Some Indian tribes have developed a process to render this plant's poison harmless, but it is a process that takes a long time.  Not exactly on my list of things to try.  ;-)

Enjoy! (Just don't eat!)
