Noticing the Unnoticed

     Concealed by the pumpkin infestation, little husked tomatoes grow patiently. Waiting to be discovered. Camouflaged, only a patient and curious eye can detect the timid tomatillos hidden behind their mono-colored cloak.

                                                             
       Slowly taking over the vibrant green grass, elephant ear leaves enshroud the forming pumpkins growing toward the sun. Imitating a flower, the leaves cup up as if they are trying to hold the sun. Sitting on the kitchen counter, waiting to be embalmed and carved, two pumpkins have been cut from their lifeline.
