Pumpkins for Thanksgiving

I'm calling these candy experiments because if you work on pumpkins long enough, you can turn them into dessert. Actually, I just thought they were cool. I had never before noticed the "ribs" attached to the side of the pumpkin shell, or how the sliced-off strands in the pumpkin top form such a beautiful sunburst.

There's so much beauty in the world around us! I hope you find your own small miracles to enjoy today. Happy Thanksgiving!
