Nice pictures, Dear Peggy!

I'm in a world of grayscale and some dark green for the next couple months so colors are a welcome sight!

That tomato really caught my eye! So first I photographed it, and then I bought it! I love the pattern on the skin.

It's an Heirloom tomato and they have a great flavor.

I appreciate your very kind comments. My photographer's eye has sharpened over the years, and my equipment is better than it used to be.

Everything helps!
