Photo 69 - 365 - Pumpkin Plant

This is is a pumpkin plant that I was very surprised to find one day. I had purchased some small pumpkins before Halloween to paint and display during the season. One of the pumpkins I just left as decoration in my kitchen and finally set it outside. It started to decay and instead of picking up and tossing out a gooey old pumpkin, I just left it there. And the seeds germinated and what a nice surprise for us this Spring! I wanted to show the old and the new but for some reason the old pumpkin just wouldn't focus. Anyway, I think you get the idea.
