Pepper is showing off in front of me. He came very close. Just about 1 meter or so (Squirrels-2021-3534.jpg)
The bell pepper is the fruit of plants in the Grossum cultivar group of the species Capsicum annuum. Cultivars of the plant produce fruits in different colours, including red, yellow, orange, green, white, and purple. Bell peppers are sometimes grouped with less pungent pepper varieties as "sweet peppers".

Putting me in the kitchen with dinner preparations is an opportunity for me to be distracted. After a few years of stopping the cooking process to photograph various foods, I've learned to set those precious possible photographic candidates aside for a while. Here's to red peppers...a source of Vitamin C and antioxidants. Hooray for healthy foods!

Pepper on this Perch is exhibiting his Passive-Aggressive side because that perch really truly belongs to Tikki. I think this may be the first time I've ever seen him up there. It is in some ways a good thing as he has lost some weight and he has the energy to get up there. (Losing weight is good, doing it this quickly is a bit troubling but his specialty vet got blood work earlier this week and it was perfect.) Oh yes, the Happy Caturday theme 17 October 2020 is 'Catphabet."
...after taking this shot I went over to the young woman and showed it to her!
Luckily, after looking a bit fierce, she laughed and said it was a good shot!
She was on her lunch break so I of course moved on and left her to it!
Pepper Pot Cottage on the St Giles estate in 2010 pre renovation and at this time looking unloved. So different now in 2016 there has been a total transformation. Wimborne St. Giles Dorset. You can see the renovated Pepper Pot cottage in my album of Knowlton,Ebbesborne Wake and Wimborne St Giles. #WimborneStGiles

I made a mistake when I bought the plants. I thought I was getting a sweet pepper. Planted it anyway, and just picked these.
Peppers is at his happiest when he's browsing for snacks around the farm. He often goes for the broadleaf weeds, like burdock. These are growing behind the solar panels.
There are three forms of this moth. The most common is white peppered with black. This is found in more rural areas. Then there is this form which is black peppered with white. The third form is virtually completely black. The blacker forms are more common in urban environments. This is believed to be due to the white form being more susceptible to predation in urban areas. Natural selection in action !
Saturday Self Challenge
This week's challenge then is to show two things which are different, yet largely the same. For example two forks that don't match, two different types of yellow car, maybe a pair of different coloured socks from a matching set. Collage or a single image is fine. As ever new photos please.
This was one of those ideas that in my mind seemed simple but turned out to be quite difficult to pull off. I decided after taking photos of the ground pepper and the complete peppercorns in separate containers that they would look probably look better in the same one. That was when the trouble started, trying to get them not to mix. In the end I folded a small piece of aluminium foil and placed it across the middle of the wooden bowl. I carefully filled from each side and then just before I was ready to take the pictures I carefully removed the foil barrier. I did end up with a couple of stray peppercorns getting into the ground up side, but I would have caused too much of a mess attempting to remove them. I do hope it’s suitable for the challenge.
