Beautiful Gourds

If you have time to count all types, colors, and textures of gourds, you will see that there are too many different gourds to count.

The pictures feature below are only a few that I come across, and they are perfect for Mosaic Monday.


Good nature will always supply the absence of beauty; but beauty cannot supply the absence of good nature.
~Joseph Addison


The day I see a leaf is a marvel of a day.
~Kenneth Patton


Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless; peacocks and lilies, for example.
~John Ruskin


A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
~John Keats


The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.
~Henry Miller

Happy Monday!

I agree with you. Gourds have interesting texture, colors and forms and you make a beautiful mosaic with that.
Thank you for stopping by my blog.

A lovely mosaic, the leaf as a centerpiece is great. I was at our farmers market over the weekend and I could not count all the different types of gourds, they are amazing.
