As I mentioned in my previous post, I spent the Christmas holiday with my mom. And one morning, I observed that she had many colorful vignettes involving vegetables, plants and flowers scattered around her house. The visual feast of freshness inspired me to go on an impromptu domestic photo safari:

Gourds and fresh tomatoes by the kitchen window

Yellow pepper plant in the kitchen

Orange pepper plant on the kitchen table

Close-up of a delicately-patterned orchid in the family room

A different orchid in the dining room

Can you tell that my mom is a health nut and a green thumb with artistic talent?
