A gaggle of goose gourds

Everybody has probably seen these gourds before, but I had never noticed them. I was fascinated because they looked like geese, and then I saw the sign: goose gourds.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

it's enjoyable to have a gander at these gourds...they certainly remind of geese, and easily stand out in such a harvest display..
