winter gourd


These buffalo gourds, being completely inedible and bitter for everyone - human, animal, and bird alike - are still enduring in the roadsides of Eldorado.  I suppose they'll break down into organic components eventually (we're due to get a heavy frost tonight - that may help).  In the meanwhile, some people - children? - managed to lay a few in the road where they've been duly smashed by cars, looking for all the world like a tennis ball massacre ...
