Garnish Island is located in the shelter of Glengarriff Harbour in Bantry Bay. Warmed by the waters of the Gulf Stream, this island and its unique gardens enjoy a climate that is almost sub-tropical, making it possible for beautiful ornamental plants to flourish. This gardening gem is set in clear, clean waters and is known to horticulturists all over the world. This shot was taken from the Grecian temple.
Thank you for your visit I hope you enjoy.

Macro Mondays: Garnish (This small section of drinking glass is less than 2". Image is cropped to fit within the 3" guidelines)
Lately I have seen TikTok's videos for Christmas themed cocktails by dipping the rim of your glass in frosting and then dipping it again in sprinkles to get a fun garnish. I wasn't about to make a cocktail at 9:00 AM so I used milk instead, a much healthier choice for so early in the day. :D
Thanks for your visit! HMM!

This great blue heron ended up with a few greens with his tiny fish. Before he swallowed it, though, he cleared off the greens. At the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge.
this is the Italian garden feature on Garnish Island in west Cork, Ireland. A truly beautiful place to visit if you're ever in that part of the world. I took this picture many years ago while visiting, but only discovered it yesterday as I was going through some old files.

View on Bantry Bay and mountains from Garnish ( Ilnacullin ) Island, Bantry Bay, Co Cork, Ireland.
Garnish is world renowned for its gardens which are laid out in beautiful walks and it has some stunning specimen plants which are rare in this climate ( micro climate ). The Gardens are the result of the creative partnership of Annan Bryce and Harold Peto, architect and garden designer. The island was bequeathed to the Irish people in 1953, and was subsequently entrusted to the care of the Commissioners of Public Works. The alternative names Ilnacullin, or Illaunacullin ( island of holly ) and Garinish, also have a long history in the locality, and appear in early maps.
(Garnish Island is accessible by ferry from Glengarriff harbour )
For Macro Mondays - Redo of the Garnish theme from November 5, 2023.

When I posted the original (see below) I wished that from a compositional standpoint I had used the straight edge of a martini glass rather than the curvilinear edge of the wine glass. And although the slice was transilluminated, I felt that the high key approach deemphasized the structure of the septae and juice sacs. Since my emphasis in this image was on bringing out the details of the structure, I decided to go B&W.
The lemon slice is 2.625 inches in diameter.

Garnish refers to the decorative and often edible elements that are added to a dish or beverage to enhance its visual appeal, flavor, and overall presentation. Garnishes are used in culinary arts and mixology to make the final dish or drink more visually appealing and to provide a burst of complementary flavors or textures. They can be simple or elaborate, depending on the context and the desired effect. Here are some common types of garnishes:
Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, basil, and mint are often used to add color and a fresh, aromatic touch to dishes. They can be finely chopped, scattered, or placed as whole leaves.
Citrus: Slices of lemon, lime, or orange are frequently used to garnish cocktails, seafood dishes, and desserts. The zest of citrus fruits can also be used to add a burst of flavor.
Edible Flowers: Certain flowers, such as nasturtiums, pansies, and violets, are edible and can be used to decorate salads, cakes, and other dishes. They add a delicate, floral touch.
Fruit Wedges or Twists: A common garnish for cocktails, fruit wedges or twists are used to enhance the drink's flavor and appearance. Common choices include lemon, lime, and orange.
Nuts: Chopped or whole nuts, like almonds, pecans, or walnuts, can be used to add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor to dishes and desserts.
Sprinkles: Sprinkles are tiny, colorful confectionery decorations often used on cakes, cookies, and ice cream to add a playful and decorative element.
Microgreens: These tiny, young vegetable greens are used to add a burst of color, flavor, and freshness to various dishes, particularly in upscale cuisine.
Sauces and Drizzles: A drizzle of sauce or dressing, like a balsamic reduction or a swirl of chocolate sauce, can elevate the presentation and taste of a dish.
Cheese: Grated or shaved cheese, such as Parmesan, Pecorino, or cheddar, can be used as a garnish on pasta, salads, and soups.
Olives: Often placed on toothpicks, olives are used as a garnish for cocktails and appetizers.
Croutons: Small, toasted pieces of bread are used to add a crispy texture to soups and salads.
Edible Dust: Some dishes are garnished with edible powders or dust, such as cocoa powder on desserts or powdered sugar on pastries.
Garnishes should complement the dish or drink both visually and in terms of flavor. They are a creative and artistic element in cooking and can make a significant difference in how a dish is perceived and enjoyed. The choice of garnish often depends on the type of cuisine, the ingredients used, and the desired aesthetic impact.
