PHOTOGRAPHY: In the garden . . .

Fresh picked yellow pear tomatoes in the bath

I can hardly tear myself away.  My camera sits on the counter by the door when I’m home.  I watch for the right light, for the sun to hit those leaves just perfectly, bringing out the texture and fragrance, and I go out and shoot. 
I need the thyme

This garden season is winding down and I’ve been photographing the progress and bounty since the seeds hit the dirt.  From the first emergence from the soil to the time they came to the kitchen, my camera has been as much a part of my gardening tools as watering can.

fell in love with the peppers early on
I thought I’d share the results of my hard work.  Hope you enjoy each little detail as much as I do.
Lots of bee activity on the sunflowers

Tomatoes early in the summer

Soon, tiny green tomatoes
Then a nice little group
Then into the harvest basket
ready to eat . . . yum!
 
portugal hot peppers
love the little guy
after a while, they got all twisty
then they got picked
nice harvest
late summer
containers bursting with peppers, tomatoes, herbs, and flowers
pots of peppers

beautiful basil

rosemary

sage with water droplets

all comes together for some awesome salsa
pretty and fragrant lilies

row of morning glories against that blue sky

and then the sunflowers bloomed

love the bright yellow against that blue sky
love how they twist and intwined
feels like you could just slide right in
just look at them so hard at work
the tomatoes and green beans ready to eat
something very satifying about eating what you grow yourself
That's the end of my self indulgent food porn for today.  I would love to hear from anyone who enjoys photographing their garden's success and harvest.  Is there anyone so obsessed? 

On to the newest thing . . . the hummingbirds.  Beware.
