This is one of the first pictures I took with our digital camera. It's an artichoke flower. In my estimation, it is the most beautiful bloom in the vegetable kingdom. Our garden plots are looking good. Weeks of raiding construction sites and dumpster diving for rejected wood finally paid off. We got our raised beds up, and they are planted with fall veggies.
Today is the first day that feels like fall is here. High winds and rain, and a temperature reading less than 85 degrees. We can leave summer behind and welcome the fall with open arms. Time to bring out the jackets, and add a blanket to the bed, and turn off the overhead fans. Time to turn off the air conditioner and turn on the oven and bake, and take long hot baths.

Great picture! Thanks for sharing it - can't wait to eat some of your home grown vegies.

Beautiful flower. I hope you get a huge crop since almost nothing tastes better.
