1. Love this!

Love the composition and such a statement with the remains of a chef's work. Great photo!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Thanks so much, my dear FloridaDAR!

It was pretty much accidental! Picking up my iPhone was deliberate, though.

2. I like the lighting.

I like unusual lighting like that.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Thanks so much, my dear 2naSalit!

The lighting was what caught my eye too. As you can see, the sunlight was coming in from the left and that angle just said: "Take my picture!"

So I did.

[2naSalit]

10. I like that angle too...

Sunlight through a window from the side.

I use it in my drawings, it's sets mood and character for the image in a way no other element can whether it's color or B&W.

11. That was my first impression - the light

Second impression - beautiful bright colors! Showing us your photographer’s eye again!

Very well done,,Peggy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Thanks so much, my dear Diamond_Dog! ♥

I really appreciate your lovely words! I was having a very good time when I grabbed this photo.

5. oh...

I thought this was going to be a story about peyronie's treatment.

[2naSalit]

12. LOL

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Well, that would be unlikely in the Photo Group. Still, I hope you enjoyed the picture! ♥

6. Are you left handed?

'Cause all my greens would be pointed the other way!

[magicarpet]

13. Ambidextrous,... ?????

The green stem indicates a left-handed person did the chopping,...

the position of the root end indicates a right handed person held the chopping knife.

I suspect the photographer re-positioned the green stems after chopping the carrots to better place them on the chopping board after chopping the carrots was done.

I vote the chopper was right-handed.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. You have some interesting thoughts, my dear magicarpet!

I am a little ambidextrous, though that didn't play a role in this event.

I chopped the tops off with my right hand.

There was no repositioning of the carrots.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. I USED to be left handed.....until I was five years old. Then I switched.

That did lead to the occasional problem of not remembering which was which! Not so much, these days, though.

I chopped the carrots with my right hand.

Has consequences...and even more consequences.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. My dear wyn borkins!

Mmmm....I like your consequences!

In fact, my carrots went into the pot with all the fixings for beef stew!

And that carrot cake recipe! Oh god.........looks amazingly delicious. It's one of my favorite cakes.

Thank you!

8. Such carnage! (But very effective photo.)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Thank you so much, my dear tblue37!

Carnage? Hardly! That word relates to the latin word carne from meat.

Reference:
englishconversations.org/2017/01/22/vocabulary-carnage/

Carnage is Destruction. The word “carnage” has a Latin root and it comes from the word “carne”, which means “meat” or “flesh”.

I do get your meaning!

I'm glad you like my photo!

9. Nice!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Thanks so much, my dear Grumpy! ♥

[niyad]

14. I feel some vegetable stock in the making. Seriously, that is a great image.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. Glad you like my image, my dear niyad! Thank you.

This was for stew, not vegetable stock.

[niyad]

25. Ste sounds great, but I was thinking of the vegetable trimmings for stock.

[rsdsharp]

15. Very interesting picture, but those appear to be

FORMER carrots.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Ah, thank you, my dear rsdsharp!

OK, go ahead and quibble--I don't mind!

[rsdsharp]

27. You stuck your tongue out at me!

A lady such as yourself. I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you to learn there are carrots going on in this establishment!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. You're shocked? SHOCKED???

Stick around....you'll get to know me better, and that will take care of the shock!

[rsdsharp]

32. You stuck out your tongue again!

Where is that alert button?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. The alert button is right underneath your post......

Is this better?



OK, OK--I'll stop sticking my tongue out at you.

[Callalily]

26. I just finished chopping a bunch of carrots too!

I'm making Spicy Cabbage Soup.

I too like to take photos around the kitchen. You can find the best subjects around the kitchen!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. Your day sounds very productive, my dear Callalily!

I've had a lot of interesting photos from inside my kitchen!

Maybe sometime I'll encourage the Photo Group to post their kitchen photos, after I put mine up, of course!

[Callalily]

29. That's a great idea!

[Mira]

31. A photo with a story - well captured

I must ask though - are the missing carrots used in a commercial? Do they have curves?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. How lovely to see you, my dear Mira! I hope you're doing OK.

And thank you for your kind remarks!

Well, no, the carrots went into my beef stew. No commercials for these folks, and no curves either!



BTW, I LOVE your entry in this month's contest! Those falls sure do look dangerous, but beautiful as well. A great shot!

[HAB911]

35. LOL, you got me!

EXCELLENT!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. Thank you so much, my dear HAB!

It's a rare day when I can get you!

[StarryNite]

37. So pretty!

CaliforniaPeggy I am starting to look at the simple things in life much differently because of you! There is beauty all around us.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. Aw, thanks so much, my dear StarryNite!

I am glad that you're picking that up. There is beauty all around us for sure.

Since I've gotten more into photography, my eye has gotten a lot more observant.

Some days, all I see are possible photos!
