Jennifer (Jen's Photography) and I went into Chicago to shoot at one of the farmers market in Lincoln Park on Saturday.
These eggplants were such a tempting target I just had to shoot them.
And sow it was time for another location. Now this isn't my usual patch but Jim and myself spied a shot from inside the allotment and after getting permission to go inside spent time choosing the right angle. 1O24 is seen on it's way from Manchester Piccadilly to Bournemouth.

Ickworth. With over 1,800 acres of parkland designed by Capability Brown, the house and its grounds were created as an homage to Italy, the country so beloved by Frederick Augustus Hervey, the 4th Earl of Bristol. The Earl-Bishop spent his life travelling the continent, gathering together a vast collection of paintings, sculpture and artefacts. Already possessed of several houses, he conceived Ickworth primarily as a museum for his treasures. At his death only the Rotunda - the giant circular structure at the centre of the two wings, described by Hervey's wife as 'a stupendous moment of Folly' - was nearing completion. The house was eventually finished by his son. Although Hervey's treasures, confiscated during the French invasion of Italy, were destined never to occupy Ickworth, his descendants made it their life's work to rebuild what has become an exceptional collection of art and silver. Paintings housed in the galleries include works by Velázquez, Titian and Poussin, while the collection of 18th-century portraits of the family is exceptionally fine, featuring canvases by Gainsborough, Reynolds, Vigée-Lebrun and Hogarth. In addition to one of the very best British collections of Georgian Huguenot silver, Ickworth is also home to an impressive array of Regency furniture, porcelain, and domestic objects. More made a career of producing idealised Italian landscapes. His Landscape with Classical Figures, Cicero at his Villa, painted in 1780 and funded in 1993, is a typical work, the misty soft-focus and pastel light adding to its appeal. Hugh Douglas Hamilton's The Earl Bishop of Bristol and Derry Seated before the Prospect of Rome shows Hervey seated at what is thought to be the southern tip of the Borghese Gardens. Ickworth's parklands and gardens can provide a day's activity in their own right. The south gardens are modelled on the formal Italian style, while the gardens to the west of the house are more informal. Visitors can walk or cycle out into the park itself and up to the Fairy Lake. Bright and modern, The West Wing Restaurant overlooks the gardens and can be guaranteed to catch any sunlight on offer. It serves everything from hot meals to snacks, and at weekends the restaurant is open for breakfast. If you're after something rather more formal, try Frederick's restaurant at Ickworth Hotel in the grounds.
Street food is everywhere in this country! And most of it is great and inexpensive. However, it's mostly meat, noodles, rice…there are few vegitable dishes.
Onion strings. The vegitable stall at the Market Place not only sells high quality produce but the presentation is a work of art.
Darkened the edges to remove distractions.
japan is traditionally known as the land of the chrysanthemum. the flower is designed in the imperial crest and considered to be something noble and sacred. but in autumn, we EAT mums. this edible mum is particularly called "motte-no-hoka," which literally means "absolutely improper." (sorry, the emperor, but they are tasty...)
"Avocado"
During these blazing summer days at 110+ degree heat it can be extremely difficult to find to motivation to shoot anything outdoor. However with out saying that it is nice to venture away from your usually subjects of photography and find inspiration from other things, and sometimes you can find that motivation with common object as this avocado. I always found it unique especially the color of the pit it almost looks like it was carved out of wood. Some simple strobe/reflector setup was used during this shot. Guacamole anyone?!!

MOST OF THE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES WE GET THESE DAYS ARE HIGHLY CONTAMINATED.
