Yesterday morning everything in our community was covered by a beautiful layer of hoar frost. This is a focus stacked image of a cluster of small crab apples in the back yard. I usually try for an odd number of subjects; however, in this instance I managed to destroy the perfect group of three by brushing against them with the bill of my cap. I added the grey background after applying a layer mask to the subject. It provides better contrast for the ice crystals but does look a bit tacky.
I need to check the calendar setting of my camera, it's off by a day.

The unmistakable and unchanging lines of the Porsche 911 are always evident in every model. I was first drawn to this shape when I was a schoolboy, reading avidly about the European motoring and travel adventures of an old motoring journalist by the name of Jeff Carter, back in the mid 1970s.
This model is from 1990 and is designated as the Porsche 911 Carrera 2, but also known as a Porsche 964.

It's called fasciation, also known as cresting, the odd condition exhibited by this cherry tomato. The explanations that I found on the Web were long and complex. But what’s most interesting, I think, is that it's apparently not two tomatoes joined together, but rather a single tomato--about 1.5 inches wide--that simply mutated and grew this way, if I understand it correctly.
We grew it on our backyard deck. I’ve applied some painterly processing for added interest, and I’m submitting it for this week’s Looking Close On Fridays theme: “Vegetables”
In case you’re wondering, as I was, “Tomatoes are fruits that are considered vegetables by nutritionists,” according to Brittanica.com. And that’s good enough for me. :-)
