Coming out of the swimming pool, something caught my eye. When I went closer, I saw it was the remains of an apple—core and peel. Someone had left it on a large landscaping stone in the parking lot. I loved the way the late afternoon sun was shining through the peel. I had walked to the pool with nothing but the swimming suit, shoes, and towel I was wearing. So I left it in place and went back with my camera after supper. Then, because I’m a good citizen I cleared it off the rock, took it home and kept taking pictures of it. :-)

Minimal perhaps but an eye catcher - super pop of colour on the otherwise white scene . Great detail and the clarity of a near transparent apple skin , and love the fact that the ant have found the sweetness in the moisture of the apple remains ! fav .
@joysabin Thanks, Joy, I’m glad I happened to spot it. That’s what photography and 365 do to you. You notice things you might not have previously. (though I’ve alwsys been an odd duck of sorts) @beryl I love light coming through colored glass, and light through the apple skin appealed to me in the same way. I’m glad you noticed the ants. There were a bunch of them in there. When I carried it to the car and set it on the dashboard, a number of them came out and started running around there. When I was a kid, I sometimes spent my time during recess watching ants in their hills on the sidewalk. @jamibann lucky find! And lucky it was just AFTER the pool had closed when I remembered I wanted to go back with camera. One family coming out walked past and looked at me curiously. I told them what it was I was taking pictures of and that I knew I was crazy. Ha ha @30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks, Jackie, I did indeed enjoy the swim. The water felt sooo good. @grammyn@hjbenson Thanks so much Katy and Harry. I’m glad you like this. When I got home I took a bunch more photos from various angles. I may post another one at some point here. @randystreat@jacqbb so glad you liked that bright spot of red against the white(ish) rock, Kathy and Jacqueline. It really stood out and drew my attention when I first walked past.

the colours and balance of the photo are perfect for the minimalism challenge. Well spotted
Did you enjoy your swim??
