Harvest photos? I don't have anything to harvest!
I am very proud of my few Sungold tomatoes - this is the most I've had ripe at one time, nearly enough for a snack for one person:
Unfortunately, my sparse tomatoes are hard to pick out in that busy background. A closer look didn't improve things much:
Next, I trotted of to the Sunday market. There's a place for harvests!
I came home with a bag full of apples, but not many pictures. I did see a warty pumpkin that made me smile:
and a basket full of hot peppers:
But I'm guessing the entries will be full of pumpkins and peppers, and my photos aren't good enough to stand out.
I had lunch at the Nature Conservancy. The park was full of winterberry holly waiting to fed the birds in the coming months. What makes foraging different from harvesting, I wondered? It didn't matter, the light wasn't right.
Home again, still with no usable photo.
Then I saw all the critters: bees, moths, and butterflies feasting on my Autumn Joy sedum. Now they were busy harvesting! But they wouldn't stay still long enough for documentation.
This bee on a purple coneflower did. I think he was having such a good time bathing in pollen he didn't care that I was so close. I hope he got some in his sacs so he could go home and share his harvest.
So this bee is my entry.
(I did have a somewhat-brilliant inspiration strike me this evening, but it was already too dark to execute. I may go out in the morning to try it anyway, just for fun.)
