my entry to '52 weeks' contest by @wwwiebe

( the initial post & rules , all 52 prompts, this week entry )

This week had a teasing prompt: 'Life', and I do have something unique and intresting, that you dont stumble upon everyday, you can not plan to visit and capture it... On the other hand, the plot is quite trivial, and probably my photo do not reflect all the greatness of the moment and my feelings.

Amazing Nature challenge

This scene perfectly fits to @adalger's challenge, so I post it to this community. And here I urge all good Hiveans: do not repeat past mistakes, let's post content to the dedicated groups, this is a better future for us all (even if its less upvotes and curation). Let's make our Hive home more enjoyable for inhabiting.

Итак, у нас было несколько тыкв, купленных осенью, и мы использовали их для готовки, одну за другой. В январе дошла очередь до этой. Когда мы вскрыли ее, то были шокированы: семечки внутри нее оказалось начали прорастать, не дожидаясь весны, земли, воздуха, воды, ничего. И не одно-два семечка, а почти все!
So, the long story short: we had a pumpkin (actually, four or five of them, obtained in October). We used one from time to time for cooking, and in January the turn came to this one. When we cut it, we were shocked: the seeds inside turned out to begin to sprout, without waiting for spring, earth, air, water, nothing. And not one or two seeds, but almost all of them!
Это были крепкие, здоровые ростки. А так как семечек было немало, то внутри тыквы нас ждал спутанный буйный полный сил комок жизни! Это было очень сильное ощущение. Такое случается очень не каждый день... Конечно, я задокументировал это чудо жизни.
These were strong healthy sprouts. And since there were a lot of seeds, then inside the open pumpkin we were waiting for a tangled lush full of energy clump of life! It was a very strong sensation. This happens not every day ... Of course, I did not neglect the opportunity to document this miracle of life.

I could add more captures to my post to solidify my chances for a fat upvotes, but basically, all captures of this looked pretty much the same, adding nothing new to the image above.

I cannot resist to temptation to add a photo of the same seeds used in more conventional way, though xD
Which of them you'd like most, I wonder?..

в детстве тема про "мужское здоровье" была еще не актуальна, и я из тех дней вынес бабушкино ноу-хау, что это лучшее средство от глистов :)))

How awesome is that! It's like a carnivorous, cannibalistic group of little seeds eating on their own mom to grow! 😂 It looks like it might come from a horror movie, but it looks fantastic! What an incredible find. They want to live!

yeah, a bit like that. not a funny sight at all, a bit scary, and you explained well - why. (same motives of death attached to the life, as in @bambuka's post).

But you managed to get some sharp and good resolved pictures out of it ^^ Must be your skill, hehe .. Is the Canon 350D as good as the D50 Mark 2 for that ?

Most unusual, hope you were able to use them. Pumpkin seed are expensive to buy, when you are fortunate to find them. Perhaps best is to buy the whole pumpkin and dry seeds for oneself.

Never seen pumpkin seed seeding inside the pumpkin itself, well done on macro-photography.
