BEETS

WHOLE FOODS has these strange looking beets on display (and of course, for sale). On the outside, these vegetables look TERRIBLE. In fact one of the beets in this frame was SO UGLY that I couldn't leave it in the photo, and I replaced it (the one in the approximate middle on the far right--it has a dark top).

But look at the one that is cut in half...NATURE produces such things???

Great capture and info Michelle! #1574032Monnie Ryan May 24, 2014
Never really looked very closely at beets - don't care for 'em - but I agree these are a bit odd. Cool capture, though! #11051191Gail Sullivan May 24, 2014
Great work on this, Michelle! #11051268John Connolly May 24, 2014
There is nothing like a cheese and beet sandwich on fresh bread Michelle! What an unusual looking vegitable! #11051594Ann Coates May 25, 2014
Never seen anything like this. They might be ugly on the outside but beautiful on the inside. Terrific capture here Michelle. #11051838Mitch Spence May 25, 2014
Ugly, yes. Alien things. Do you suppose we've just lost our connection to the "real" look of crops and know only the shiny, cleaned up variety in the supermarkets? My, John, a cheese and beet sandwich??? really???? #11052085Leslie McLain May 25, 2014
Fantastic still life, Michelle. #11052170Renata Gusciora May 25, 2014
Terrific capture, Michelle! I love beets! We have a traditional Polish soup made of them called red "barszcz". We have just had it few days ago with sort of ravioli filled with mushroom! :P #11052199Anita Hogue May 26, 2014
I love roasted beets! A fantastic capture, Michelle! #11052758Terry Cervi May 27, 2014
I have never seen a beet like this one, Michelle. Have you tried them? It's a fantastic shot of the unusual looking veggie! #11053528Marilyn K. Lincecum May 30, 2014
Great shot..strange looking beets. Not sure about the beet and chees sandwich, but the soup sounds pretty darn good. :-) #11056025Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
