… it was an impulse buy. I had traveled to my local grocery store with a specific list of items to purchase. Prickly pears were not on that list. And yet as I passed by that basket of fruit …
… I guess the overhead lights struck the skin in such a way that I was reminded of iridescent glass. How could I resist such a display?
And yes, if I look close enough, I still see stars in a night sky. Perhaps an aurora. 😉

At first I wanted to title this image, “Cuddling,” but I thought that might be too sassy a title for my simple breakfast. Wherever you are in the world, have a good day, folks. 😉

A friend picked these up at a local farmers market. I thought she described them as currants but someone else called them gooseberries.
While their tart taste is not to my liking, I do appreciate the variation in shades of color.
I especially like the intricacy of the husks.
I probably won’t purchase anymore but this little batch did make for a great procrastination photo shoot. 😉

One morning I purchased a single plum. It was an impulse buy. I haven’t eaten plums in years but I thought I might use the fruit as inspiration. In the end, it was my antidote for mounting procrastination. You see, I had a project due soon. Amazing how strong the urge to take a long walk when you need to stay seated and finish a writing assignment. I couldn’t go for a walk but …
… I decided I could rise from my chair on occasion and take a photo of the plum. I did so throughout the afternoon. No fine art produced but the movement was a release of sorts.
When I finished the writing assignment, I ate the plum, a final dose of a sweet treat that helped me stay focused just enough. I think I might buy an apple today!

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.
