Corn and Roma Tomatoes

Yes, vegetables on a table top qualify as nature photography—at least on this blog they do. These beauties were only two feet from my back door, where natural afternoon light was flooding in upon them to add interest to the scene.

Have you ever seen such a tempting shade of red? If colors could each be assigned a flavor, then this vivid hue should always taste like a salted slice of vine-ripe Roma tomato. I'm now reminded of being a young child and sneaking into our half-acre summer garden to eat tomatoes as if they were a forbidden treat

As for the sweet corn, it was devoured within fifteen minutes of the photo shoot, proving that yellow is seductive too.
