I believe that this is a False Potato Beetle. I was out doing macro photography yesterday and when I came home this beauty was on my front door. It was like it was waiting for me. I moved it to my garden and got some photos before it disappeared. Photographed in Maryland..

Potato Seller at market in Old Delhi, India.

Old Delhi or Purani Dilli was founded as a walled city of Delhi, India, founded as Shahjahanabad in 1639, when Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor at the time, decided to shift the Mughal capital from Agra.

The construction of the city was completed in 1648, and it remained the capital of the Empire until its fall in 1857, when the British Raj took over a paramount power in India.

It was once filled with mansions of nobles and members of the royal court, along with elegant mosques and gardens. Today, despite having become extremely crowded and dilapidated, it still serves as the symbolic heart of metropolitan Delhi.

Potato Race (Pieperrace) by R o P r i k

VOLENDAM - the event commemorates the risky potato shipments from Volendam’s fishermen, which they carried out of Friesland in the war years (1943-1945) with their ships during the hunger winter amongst other Amsterdam hospitals supplied. The race departs from Volendam and takes traditionally place on the IJsselmeer with a large fleet of traditional sailing ships: skûtsjes, aken, tjalken and clippers.

VOLENDAM - Het evenement houdt de herinnering levend aan de riskante aardappel transporten vanuit Friesland, die Volendammer vissers in de oorlogsjaren (1943-1945) uitvoerden met hun schepen en hierbij werden onder andere tijdens de hongerwinter Amsterdamse ziekenhuizen bevoorraad. De race vertrekt traditiegetrouw vanuit Volendam en speelt zich af op het IJsselmeer met een grote vloot van traditionele zeilschepen zoals: skûtsjes, aken, tjalken en klippers.

Appearing when the plant matures and starts to form tubers underground. I’m going to remove them so the plants energy goes to growing tubers. If left they will produce small green tomato like berries.

It almost seems like art the way the potato farmer cultivates his field.

I regularly get my potatoes from the fields in this area...and they taste really good.

Es mutet fast nach Kunst an, wie der Kartoffelbauer sein Feld bestellt.

Von den Feldern dieser Umgebung beziehe ich regelmäßig meine Kartoffeln...und die schmecken richtig gut.

Some vegetables look pretty. Potatoes lack that visual charm. Instead, these mini Charlotte salad potatoes charm the taste buds. For Macro Mondays "Vegetable". FOV 2.8-inch.

This potato got buried in my potato bag in the pantry. I love how our produce can reproduce itself and holds the potential for new life. If you leave a chocolate bar or Twinkies buried in the pantry they won't do this.

The potato and it's roots got me thinking about how planting oneself firmly will keep you in one place growing upward and somewhat outward. Is that the only way to live life never wandering far and exploring but safely planted? I feel like it is the best way to raise a family. But I have no experience with moving around much.

Sorry my thoughts and ramblings feel incomplete and disconnected today.
