A filler.

Wow - neat focus, the sort of thing you would completely miss if you weren't paying attention.

Great focus...been a long time since I've grown a pumpkin altho thruth be told they usually grew themselves :)

@miranda @palusami :) - I didn't miss it because I am having to pollinate the flower by hand (lack of bees). the leaves are like sandpaper!
...and I always let pumpkins self-sow. Mind you, I do make a point of throwing the pumpkin compost in a few choice spots.
