Well, not actually ugly, but definitely interesting. I saw these stacked up for sale and even though I didn't buy any, my stealth camera was in hand, as always, and I was able to get a photo of their fine display of harvest goods.

I like the title. Now I am hearing the theme song in my head. Nice colors and textures, as everyone agrees. A very interesting picture.

I love that title! And I also love gourds. What an interesting and colourful bunch. You've captured them well. Again, this reminds me of something PJ. A long time ago I grew a plant that had similarly textured gourds, and my mother was so freaked out by them that she kept telling me not to touch or eat them...LOL Enjoyable image PJ. :)

I don't care what kind of camera it is that's used or if it's out of focus a little,(it's not) maybe to brite or to dark or who uploaded the image. You give me a closeup of Harvest goods with different colors, shapes and textures...plus these guys are shiny.. I will download it! instantly!! It's a little on the darkside but so what, I'm not blind! Why ask the author to edit it! It's FREE! we can do the edit ourself. and another good thing about all this...it's PJ who gave it to us.

Well, they are quite unusual as far as gourds go. What I find interesting is the patterns & textures. The gourds/pumpkins in the Midwest were in shortage this year probably due to major heavy flooding in mid August ... alot of gardens were flooded out before they could be harvested. I will surely enjoy these though. A wonderful capture PJ.

This is so good I got gourd pimples just looking at it. Love the Title, which should be no surprise. Very creative but that's your middle name, PCJ I believe. I was listening to radio and they started playing "Old Hippie" by the Bellamy Brothers while I was looking at this. Freaked me out. Pass the berries.

I have to confess to a bit of a fascination with gourds. They're so warty yet shiny, so mis-shapen yet pretty. You did a great job with these PJ - I can almost reach out and touch them.
