skunk cabbage has always been one of the first signs of spring in new england... usually found near small streams or in swampy areas... for those who have never 'experienced' it, when you break off a leaf it smells remarkably like a skunk... so I didn't break off a leaf on this particular plant, I just photographed it......

Mary - Much better to view than smell - absolutely. Excellent photo! Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.

Thanks for not breaking it HF. I like the vein look to the leaves. Obviously there are filled with stink water.
Good luck.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

It is hard to imagine such a crisp looking vegetable having a bad smell - I hope it s tasts good !
An excellent contribution to the b/w Challenge Mary.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Juicy texture. I suppose it doesn't taste well...
