Determination ala Orange Squeeze!!!

I used to have a huge garden, and pumpkins galore...had to contain them somewhat so they wouldn't climb up the sunflowers and other vegies..so I put up this fence around them, and wow..the determination of this lil' ol' pumpkin! (I'm entering this in the 'orange' contest.) It didn't give up, just kept growing, well, at least part of it ! It's an older photo, but I thought it was such a pretty orange colour.

Love this one Verena. It made me smile, that poor pumpkin sure wanted to be on the other side. Maybe the grass is greener on the other sid of the fence also, lol.

I hope this is for the contest, Verena. The orange color of the pumpkin is well suited for it. Very nice shot.

And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

Hey Verena! You could call it stuck jackolantern, or needs to be a part of both worlds. Very cute picture!
