We don't eat vegetables beginning with 'a' in this house (no aubergines, artichokes or asparagus) so today I'm making use of the alternates list, with this pic of the girls' apple snack (before I let them near it - not much left now!)
I don't eat any of the vegetables you mentioned, but I do love apples, and this is such a great close up of one......the details on the stalk are so good! :-)
Good alternative. I was hoping to get some asparagus for today's shot, but it's not gonna happen! So, I'll be pulling out an alternative too. Could do apple, but maybe something else...
