Beetroots, (Beta Vulgaris), evolved from the wild seabeet, a native plant commonly found on the coastlines of Europe. Since the early Greek and Roman times, the root has been used for widespread medicinal purposes around the globe. Hippocrates, the ‘Father of Medicine’ used the beetroot leaves for wound dressings. The Romans used the beetroot as a form of aphrodisiac. The beetroot was then used for a number of medicinal purposes over the next few centuries as a means to promote health and wellbeing. During the Renaissance the beetroot was used to aid digestive problems. Overall, it is evident that the beetroot has served many healthful purposes over the years, and modern medicine is exacting the true benefits of the humble beet.

8/31 July is Chocolate Brown, 365 Colours.
My first attempts to use my light box. I think the textile of my box is too thick, I need to buy a more transparent one.
I have retouched this beetroot a littlebit (contrast, saturation). Still not quite good, but there is a lot to learn.
I love this beetroot, it's delicious!
The ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) is a medium to larger sized primate, and the most internationally-recognized lemur species, owing to its long, black-and-white ringed tail. It belongs to Lemuridae, one of five lemur families, and is the only member of the Lemur genus. Like all lemurs, it is endemic to the island of Madagascar, where it is endangered. It is omnivorous, as well as the most adapted to living terrestrially of the extant lemurs.
The ring-tailed lemur is highly social, living in groups of up to 30 individuals. It is also a female-dominant species, a commonality among lemurs. To keep warm and reaffirm social bonds, groups will huddle together. Mutual grooming is another vital aspect of lemur socialisation (as with all primates), reaffirming social and familial connections, while also helping rid each other of any potential insects.
These are in my poly tunnel and because of the recent warm weather they are starting to show some leaves.
Walk whilst the kids were in nursery then later we did more gardening and dug up beetroot we'd planted late last year. Multi variety and baby versions.
