for 'Lammas' day

Ray hasn't made bread today and I won't be going near a wheat field so I have no traditional shot for thanksgiving/harvest time.
I did read that Lammas used to be a time for trying out partners and for young people to have a trial marriage lasting the period of the fair (11 days) to see whether they were really suited for wedlock. At the end of the time they could part if they felt they were not suited.
But I can't post a shot to illustrate that, either, so here are courgettes, yellow and green, harvested from her garden and given to Ray by a rambler friend. And very good they were, too.


A lovely composition.

Thanks, Graham, it took quite a bit of extra time out of the dinner prep as it was indoor light and a yellow courgette gets rather reflective.

Lovely shot Hazel. I have a loaf in the bread maker as I type this so I hope it looks ok for a photo later!!

Great POV! I was "channeling" you the other day when I lay down flat on the floor to get a shot of Pippin.

We call them zucchini and people are always giving them away this time of year. Very nice shot --- they look so fresh!
