and the veggies.

Love the tomatillos.

I was so pleased at how clear my shot of them was.

captured the beauty of the flowers. Great photographs.

Of course, the produce here is really farm-fresh, compared to the supermarket stuff.

The flowers really grabbed me today! Those pink roses blew my mind.

Like the ones with the peppers and the squash. Good thing I'm having dinner shortly.

Yup, they make me hungry too! I will be getting out of here shortly to make my dinner too!

Glad you enjoyed.

Ty for sharing!

I wonder what that bumpy greenish blue plant is?

That bumpy greenish blue plant is Kale! The texture really drew my eye.

Thank you, CaliforniaPeggy, for sharing your wonderful photos with us! I really enjoy looking at them.

I seek to bring joy to all who look!

I had a great time, and it looks like you did too.

I hope the hot weather sticks around a bit longer; we've had a very cloudy spring and early summer, and I am not ready for fall yet!

I do like the fall veggies, though.

I love the flowers, but the kale is interesting. Can you get any closer to it? Could be a really eerie effect.

The kale really stopped me in my tracks! I could get closer now, but that would involve cropping. Is that what you meant?

I'll give it a try in a bit!

Can you fill the frame with it?

Before cropping?

Just curious.

I'll have to see what I can do in the original photo file.

I will return! Probably right here.


I did have to crop it before doing anything. And this is the crop I chose:

I should have said cropping optional but this is what I was looking for!

It just looks so alien, I guess that's why I like these macros.

It sure does look alien. Next time, I'll take more exposures on the spot. That will give me more options about how to treat it later.

I love the sense of bounty that I felt in that photo. So many bell peppers, so many colors!

The dinosaur kale (also known as lacinato kale) and acorn squashes are my faves.

That's very kind of you.

I really don't enjoy eating kale, but getting a photo is altogether different. I had fun with that.

And the skin on the acorn squash! Wow, it took a lot of strength to cut it through. Tasted mighty good though.
