Summer Harvest: Colourful Comestibles (I)

This gallery contains 4 photos. (More or less) natural goodness from the garden! I couldn’t resist capturing the different colours of the bell peppers, blueberries, cucumbers, and lettuce in this big salad bowl. Photographed on July 21.

Small green globules of grapes (complete with a perambulating daddy longlegs) dangle through and above the pieris japonica bushes in my backyard. Shot on September 1 in HDR mode.

Raspberries were in great abundance, and, along with blueberries, were among the first fruits to be produced in early summer. Freshly picked and photographed on July 9.

Here’s a shot of five golden squashes growing in a pot. The longest and biggest one (pictured here touching the ground) grew to 16 inches in length and 4.5 inches in girth! I could not wrap my hand around it, and it took six meals to use up! Photographed on July 29.
