More photo art from Docent-in-Training Elsa Shekelle! Thank you Elsa!!

Hi Mary!   These are some of the things we’ve grown in our vegetable garden planted in raised beds in front of our house.  As you know, I love taking photos & thought it would be fun to share these with you & the DRT group considering this week’s “Learning Together” explores Edible Plants.  It has always impressed me how beautiful so many of the things we eat actually are!  Winter vegetables are especially interesting to photograph after the rain when they are freshly washed  & still have “pearls” of water on them.   Enjoy!   Stay well,    Elsa
