I had been wishing I had an island in my pond so that there would be somewhere safe from foxes and coyotes for geese and swans to nest. Darn, I didn't know weasels are attracted to islands!
Today's fruit is a Wild Cucumber (Echinocystis lobata) growing among the cattails on the bank of the pond. The seeds are well-guarded inside the round, prickly casing. I wonder what eats them?
