Cucumber Skin Barbs
Under 800X magnification, this honorable-mention-winning photograph shows toxin-filled barbs called trichomes on the skin of an immature cucumber.
The trichomes bear sharp points 40 times thinner than a sewing needle and help protect the growing fruit from predators. The toxins they release are called cucurbiticins and are the most bitter compounds known.

I’m sorry for the nights, you cried yourself to sleep.
sorry for the mornings, you cried yourself awake.
I never meant to hurt you or for your heart to break.
I just thought id let you know
tonight I’m missing you
soft lips and kissing you
tonight I’m wishing you were here
tonight I’m waiting for
someone to fill the void
the empty space now that you’re gone
I’m sorry for the nights, you hated and you screamed
I’m sorry for the days that I robbed you of belief
that there was someone out there waiting just for you
and girl I’m sorry it wasn’t me
tonight I’m missing you
soft lips and kissing you
tonight I’m wishing you were here
tonight I’m waiting for
someone to fill the void
the empty space now that you’re gone
walking on the beach leaving footprints in the sand
looking at the stars we had the world in our hands
summer afternoons picnics in the grass
we were o so good just too good to last
I will be content in you alone, take the world but save my soul.
I want for nothing but for you, you are all that I could need.
Send the waves on my house of sand, so only that on the rock will stand
This world’s a dream only a nightmare, but I’ll awake in your arms of love.
