That thought crossed my mind for a split second as I walked through the Copley Square Farmers Market this past Friday. The afternoon light was striking the fruits, vegetables and flowers in such a way that they become culinary art.
And there is no question that the vendors from the various farms know how to display their wares.
Though I could not pause to purchase anything it was a visual delight and welcome moment of calm to walk the square. I’m looking forward to next week.

Only moments before the bag had held zucchini or scallions perhaps. Now it lay crumpled on the table fodder for my imagination as sunlight filled its cavities.
At first I thought of folds of cloth and crinkled skirts like women wore so long ago. But then as the rays of light shifted, I imagined glaciers and ice caves illuminated in rainbow colors throughout an arctic day.
The sun soon dipped behind a building and with it most of the light but just enough remained for one last shot that made me think of a cavern opening.

A red plate at Target caught my eye and led to some culinary experiments with a new background color. Here are a couple initial shots. After playing with my food, I expect I’ll have to eat it. If you have any simple fresh corn and cold pasta recipes, please send ’em my way. 😉

Also known as last night’s dinner. It certainly helped to end my moody day on a bright and tasty note, thanks to that fellow in my life. He never writes a recipe down so we’ll never have this exact same dish again. FYI, it was served with steak (cooked with bacon, cuban oregano, and garlic), and sugar snap peas (barely warmed and still crisp) nestled on the side. Yep, culinary heaven. Being with this fellow – a science guy by day and gourmet chef by night – has certainly reinforced my philosophy to live … and savor … in the moment. Yet, I have to admit, I’m glad I snapped this photo to help resurrect the memories. 😉

With temperatures suddenly rising into the 90s and expected to stay there for the next few days … well, I think that’s why I felt called to choose a white background today. Like a field of fresh fallen snow beneath spring fruit and flowers. Tomorrow I might photograph ice cubes.

My simple pleasures include fresh peas sauteed with mild green garlic.
Served over lightly buttered rice.
Cherries for dessert (or maybe strawberries).
And to wash it all down? A fizzy drink cooled with frozen orange slices.
Yes, I do love spring in New England. 😉
