It's Summer!  Time to weed in the garden and the stacks.
"Morning is the best of all times in the garden. The sun is not yet hot. Sweet vapors rise from the earth. Night dew clings to the soil and makes plants glisten. Birds call to one another. Bees are already at work." William Longgood

Pickled Green Beans



Summer is always filled with fresh vegetables and plenty of canning and freezing. I pickled the beets yesterday. I wonder if that will continue for me now that I'm here at the library full-time. I'm looking forward to making the tomato sauce.

I'm happy to see that you got the beans pickled since you DID promise to give me some, remember?

So, does your "artist's eye" see an image before you capture it with the camera? Where the rest of us might only see jars of green beans to snap a picture of-front on-do you see them differently? That would explain how you've taken what might have been an ordinary picture of jarred beans and turned it into art. The jars lined up at an angle pull us into the picture, and part of the very first jar hidden from view leaves something for us to imagine. Also, where the beans out of the jar might appear to be very much alike, inside the jars they are individuals. I suspect that the juxtapisition of the jars, albeit at an angle, does that.
