olives by summerfield

olives

stuffed manzanilla olives to be exact.

i used to not like olives, although i've always loved tapenade. but my Italian friend, ada, once gave me those pitted red olives that her mother made and it was one of the most amazing thing this side of the culinary world.

and once again, i fell victim to my inattentiveness. i don't know why my camera's ISO is set to 1600. it was too late when i saw my exif, but what the heck, this didn't turn out so bad anyway.

i'm tagging this, too, for my get pushed challenge from the pretty Saxa van Eijnsbergen @overalvandaan whose challenge for me was to photograph something circular.

thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are truly appreciated.

I am not a big olive fan either- but I'd try one at least so I could see what it tasted like! Nice shot- great contrast too.

this looks really good! I've never been much of a fan of any type of olive...but I found I kind of like them in salads :)

Always always check the setting when you turn on your camera... Right like that ever happens....maybe in a perfect world

Very appealing, could almost pick it from the screen. Love the background and the drops of water!

@summerfield It shows both for awhile. Weird how it works. I was just telling Bill that. I see my old above, too, but tart here. Wonder if Jeff will do it. I told Jason he should, too. But he's about done with his project.
