I love this time of year when all the wonderful vegetables and fruits are coming into the shops straight from the farms. I bought these artichokes this morning, I'm not a great fan of them as a vegetable but I do love them for their beautiful colours - nature at its best again.
OOOOOH. Lovely. What delicious colour there is here, soft limey green, mauve and deep purple + all that beautiful texture. If thats not enough inspiration to get creative juices flowing then I'll go he ! Stunning photo Justine ( see, you have taken me back to my comfy domestic zone )

Saw the first German Asparagus in the supermarket over the weekend. Not quite ready yet but means that soon we'll be in the midst of 'Spargel season' - one of my favourite times of the year.
What a great shot, Justine! Such wonderful colours! I hope to catch up on all your posts over the next few days as I've had some busy day. I hope you've settled down in your new home!
Great shot. I love artichokes. They grew them while we were in Italy as a child, but I never tried them until I was an adult. Delicious. Thanks for the reminder.
Fabulous shot...as well as the asparagus below....
ReplyDeleteGreat shot Justine!
ReplyDeleteIt makes you want to go out and do more 'research' in fruit and veg shops!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHow could anything so beautiful NOT be delicious?
Wonderful colours!
ReplyDeleteIt's almost lunch time here, I'd love to have some artchokes (they are not on the "menu" today")...
Have a good Sunday!

ReplyDeleteGreat colors. Truly nature at its best.
ReplyDeleteI agree - very fiddly vegetable to eat but beautiful to look at and beautifully photographed.
ReplyDeleteI adore artichokes!!! And these look especially fresh and good!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm never sure if they are worth all the bother! But I love the way they look- they are so sculptural. Your photograph is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI don't like eating artichokes; I find them too bitter, but they do look wonderful, don't they? Great capture!

ReplyDeleteI just love the textures and colors of this image -- another wonderful macro, Justine! We just had some tonight, but they weren't as pretty as yours.
ReplyDeleteI never noticed until I looked at your photo what a lovely color and shape this vegetable has.
ReplyDeleteAlmost looks like petals of a flower blossom.

artichoke, for me just a word, you do not use.
ReplyDeletebut it is a challenge, I tried it.
Beautiful photography
I agree - such a lovely combination of green and purple!

ReplyDeleteArtichokes are not for me either. My husband and broter-in-law would dip it in mayo. They loved it. :)
Great shoT!
