Pure sugar with some food color, bad for the A1C, but definitely one of my guilty pleasures. Happy Macro Monday!

Looking for any photos with colour right now. I can't take the white of winter. I need colour in my life.
Sorry, to my Flickr-friend winter enthusiasts. You know who you are :-)
Every year at Christmas I head over to the bulk food store and stock up on a ridiculous amount of assorted Christmas candy. I am not sure why, other than it is now seems to be tradition. I have a section on my china cabinet of small bowls and candy jars and they are filled with the candies. I have jujubes (pictured here), Christmas coloured M&M's, jellybeans and peppermints, just to name a few...I sometimes have to remind the kids that it is not an all-you-can-eat-buffet...as tempting as it may be. :D I am not being a candy Grinch...really, I am not...I am just trying to make it to Christmas before the jars are completely empty. Calories don't count at Christmas time, right?? Ha, if only... :D
I hope you all had a great day!
Samgyetang is a traditional Korean food made by boiling good ingredients such as ginseng and jujube in the stomach of the attic.
In the past, it was enjoyed as a health food in the summer, but these days, it has become a food eaten regardless of the season. In particular, there are many customers looking for a healthy meal because the good harmony of chicken and ginseng is good for nutrition. Of course, the taste is also excellent. However, it can be harmful to people who have a lot of heat in the body, so be careful. In oriental medicine, chicken and ginseng are known as representative medicines that increase body heat.

Let those who wish have their respectability; I wanted freedom, freedom to indulge in whatever caprice struck my fancy, freedom to search in the farthermost corners of the earth for the beautiful, the joyous, and the romantic.

Macro Mondays-Candy
These are my favourite candies. They are a lot like Jujubes, Gluten-Free and Stevia sweetened. They have the most unusual flavours: Limoncello, Mandarino, Limetta, Blackberry, and Amarena Cherry and are Made With fibre-rich Acacia Gum for delightful chewiness. The Blackberry (in the Purple wrapper) is my favourite! Each candy is about the size of a man's fingernail.
UNA PIAZZA FUORI DAL TEMPO
Lio Piccolo è un minuscolo borgo rurale della laguna di Venezia che conta ad oggi solo 22 abitanti. Il singolare paesello fa parte del comprensorio del comune di Cavallino-Treporti e lo si raggiunge in barca, ma anche in bicicletta o in automobile, percorrendo un lungo e panoramico argine sulla Laguna.
Il nucleo di Lio Piccolo è composto da una graziosa piazza con la chiesetta, dedicata a Santa Maria della Neve, con il suo campanile, altri edifici tra cui quella che una volta era la scuola ed il centrale Palazzetto Boldù, risalente alla fine del Seicento.
Tutto attorno ci sono gli orti, dove si coltivano le castraure, piccoli carciofi di colore violetto e dal sapore salino – e le giuggiole. Qua e là ancora qualche casone isolato intervallato da canali, con le barene – caratteristiche distese piatte e basse periodicamente inondate – le valli da pesca e le saline.

A SQUARE OUT OF TIME
Lio Piccolo is a tiny rural village in the Venice lagoon which currently has only 22 inhabitants. The singular village is part of the district of the municipality of Cavallino-Treporti and can be reached by boat, but also by bicycle or by car, along a long and panoramic embankment on the lagoon.
The nucleus of Lio Piccolo is composed of a pretty square with a small church, dedicated to Santa Maria della Neve, with its bell tower, other buildings including what was once the school and the central Palazzetto Boldù, dating back to the end of the seventeenth century.
All around there are vegetable gardens, where castraure, small violet-colored artichokes with a salty flavor - and jujubes are grown. Here and there still a few isolated casone interspersed with canals, with sandbanks - characteristic flat and low expanses periodically flooded - the fishing valleys and salt marshes.

and a string of apple coral beads because of the resemblance with the fruit,
This is a crunchy, I suppose lyophilized version, of the fruit which in its natural state is more like a little apple. I found them in an Asian grocery where I went to look for jackfruit, which they didn't have. I do have a can and a packet of jackfruit, one sweet version and one savoury for curry, as it is a versatile fruit. But I wanted something more photogenic.
The jet is from Whitby, close to my UK home.
This weekend, I bought some seldom fruit, called „Giuggiolo“ on our local farmer’s market.
The botanical name is „Ziziphus jujuba“, also called „Chinese Jujube“, or „Breastberry“.
It is well known in Northern Italy (probably therefore the Italian sounding name), where it grows on shrubs, up tho 10 meters high.
The fruit has the size of an olive, brown color and it’s pulp tastes a bit like an apple, is somewhat harder, not juicy and not too sweet.
Dieses Wochenende kaufte ich auf unserem lokalen Bauernmarkt einige seltene Früchte, genannt „Giuggiolo“. Der botanische Name lautet „Ziziphus jujuba“ sie wird auch „Chinesische Jujube“ oder „Brustbeere“ genannt. Sie ist gut bekannt in Norditalien (wahrscheinlich deshalb der italienisch klingende Name), wo sie auf Sträuchern wächst, die bis 10 Meter hoch werden.
Die Frucht hat die Größe einer Olive, ist braun und das Fruchtfleisch schmeckt etwas nach Apfel, ist etwas härter, nicht saftig und nicht zu süß.
P.S. In my former upload, I used a wrong spelling of the name,
so I corrected it in my text and changed the photo with the
correct spelling too.
Its fun to play with your food. This was shot as an 'in-camera' double exposure keeping the center in position and rotating the dish. HMM!

Boyce Thompson Arboretum is the oldest and largest botanical garden in the state of Arizona. It is one of the oldest botanical institutions west of the Mississippi River. Founded in 1924 as a desert plant research facility and “living museum”, the arboretum is located in the Sonoran Desert on 392 acres (159 ha) along Queen Creek and beneath the towering volcanic remnant, Picketpost Mountain. Boyce Thompson Arboretum is on U.S. Highway 60, an hour's drive east from Phoenix and 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Superior, Arizona.
The arboretum has a visitor center, gift shop, research offices, greenhouses, a demonstration garden, picnic area, and a looping 1.5-mile (2.4 km) primary trail that leads visitors through various exhibits and natural areas. The exhibits include a cactus garden, palm and eucalyptus groves, an Australian exhibit, South American exhibit, aloe garden and an herb garden. There are also side trails such as the Chihuahuan Trail, Curandero Trail, and High Trail.
Over 2600 species of arid land plants from around the world grow at the arboretum. Agaves, aloes, boojum trees, cork oaks, jujube trees, legume trees, and, in the eucalyptus grove, one of the largest red gum eucalyptus trees ("Mr. Big") in the United States. Cacti and succulents grow extensively throughout the arboretum.
Because the arboretum is a riparian zone, the park attracts Sonoran Desert wildlife and migrating birds. Visitors have seen bobcats, javelinas, coatimundis, rattlesnakes, gila monsters, hawks, hummingbirds, and vultures. 270 bird species have been spotted in the park and the Audubon Society has designated the arboretum as an Important Bird Area.

Happy Macro Monday everyone! I was pretty excited by this weeks theme considering I was just back from a month long visit to Newfoundland.
One of the things I did while there was collecting sea glass on the beaches. I brought back the traditional fridge magnet but this week I wanted to showcase the sea glass.
For this image I used side lighting but what really got it to pop was when I illuminated from behind. My husband thinks they look like jujubes. This inukshuk is not quite 2 inches tall so you can guess how small the pieces of glass are. The only downfall, if you can call it that, is that by illuminating it from behind the frosting of the glass is lost.
What is sea glass you ask...
Sea glass and beach glass are similar but come from two different types of water. "Sea glass" is physically and chemically weathered glass found on beaches along bodies of salt water. These weathering processes produce natural frosted glass.[1] "Genuine sea glass" can be collected as a hobby and can be used to make jewelry or make for decoration."Beach glass" comes from fresh water and in most cases has a different pH balance, and has a less frosted appearance than sea glass. Sea glass takes 30 to 40 years, and sometimes as much as 100 years, to acquire its characteristic texture and shape.[2] Sometimes also colloquially referred to as "Drift glass" from the longshore drift process that forms the smooth edges. In practice, the two terms are used interchangeably.

Sitting on my counter is a bowl of Christmas themed red, green and white jujubes and a glass filled with candy canes (which I had used as decorations on our tree). We are sloooowly nibbling away on them and I doubt I will get them gone before I decide to just pitch them out. In this case, they have been helpful with my photo a day challenge.
I hope you all had a lovely Sunday!
Apple Ber is a Thailand mixture ber. TheFruits are Sweet, Crispy & Juicy. It appears like green apple and that is the reason it is named as apple ber.
13 deep stack using Zerene Stacker. I don't usually submit a very similar image, because one is enough. This time, because of the new masking abilities in Lightroom, I tried something completely different, changing the background from white to black and focus stacking only the front flower.
This morning I dreamed I followed
Widely spaced bells, ringing in the wind,
And climbed through mists to rosy clouds.
I realized my destined affinity
With An Ch'i-sheng the ancient sage.
I met unexpectedly O Lu-hua
The heavenly maiden.
Together we saw lotus roots as big as boats.
Together we ate jujubes as huge as melons.
We were the guests of those on swaying lotus seats.
They spoke in splendid language,
Full of subtle meanings.
The argued with sharp words over paradoxes.
We drank tea brewed on living fire.
Although this might not help the Emperor to govern,
It is endless happiness.
The life of men could be like this.
Why did I have to return to my former home,
Wake up, dress, sit in meditation.
Cover my ears to shut out the disgusting racket.
My heart knows I can never see my dream come true.
At least I can remember
That world and sigh.

My favorite season! It's still warm here, still sunny, but the days are getting cooler and shorter. Halloween will be upon us before we know it, and then it'll bring chilly nights with wind and wet, mornings smelling of woodsmoke and dying leaves, the sweetness of candles and apples, the warmth of bundling up with quilts and flannel and wool scarves and sweaters, the sound of rain pattering on the pavement and the bare branches rattling against the window. It is truly a magical season.
It will be my last fall here in California. Soon, these chilly breezes will bring change. Soon, I will be in cooler, wetter climes. Soon it will be time for something new.
I can't wait.
