Toad - ProAves Blue-billed Curassow Reserve Puerto Pinzon, Boyaca, Colombia - Composting does so many great things for the environment that I never throw food into a garbage can, even though I don't have a yard in my home in the US or in Colombia.
For some reason, Winston likes to sit around in the compost pile. At least there's no leftover food in it, just leaves and dead grass and branches. Guess it's comfy for a kitty.
This is a Jack's Solar Composter, manufactured by a company in Vermont. It's about 3' tall and 2' wide. the barrel is mounted on pressure treated wood and spins on a bar through the center. The barrel appears to have been a Greek olive oil barrel.
To take this photo I bought the cupcake stand, cupcakes, and the place mat, First I placed the place mat on the wood furniture and then put the cupcake stand onto it, placed the cupcakes onto in and arranged them, then I put the creamer, cup and saucer, sugar bowl and flower vase onto the mat. I tried several different backgrounds such as tile and just a plain tan wall, but ending liking this background the best. One strength of this photo is that I did take time to set all this up just the way I wanted to make it look like this. A weakness of this photo is that I didn't buy real flowers to put into the vase and just left the fake ones that were in there which makes the photo less interesting.
Dahn the bottom of our garden - shot with Hasselblad 500CM, using Kodak Ektachrome 100ASA slide film.
we served chard and kale for dinner the other night and this was left over when we were done cutting and cleaning things. It was so pretty I just had to take a picture of the compost bucket.

Dave signed us up for the Denver Composting Collection Pilot Program - we will be only one of 3,000 people in Denver to take part.
Reading over the materials, its really cool. They give us a huge green bin for outside as well as a mini container to keep inside the house (shown in the picture). We will be composting everything from used napkins and paper towels to leftover food, coffee filters and sticks/branches that Mr. Cub loves to chew on.
Hope it catches on -- soon we'll all be recycling and composting more than we throw out in trash.
