Equinox


Equinox
Originally uploaded by Spinneretta

As the summer ends, and autumn draws near... the gardens and farmer's markets sport a cross-over of vegetables and fruit from BOTH seasons.
The pepper is from my garden, the apple is from the store- but they are both locally grown :)

The autumnal equinox happens tomorrow- and after that, the nights start getting longer here in the Northern Hemisphere... lots of things to look forward to though :)


ETA: Jeanette over at Illustrated Life is hosting an apple challenge- so get your pencils ready and draw these delicious autumnal fruits!

HT to Robyn at Have Dogs, Will Travel for the heads up...

  5. Bell peppers! This one just brought it to a whole new level! And I could see the fine details of the surface of the apple too...
    I've seen a lot of people doing fruits and vegetables these days, but yours is one of the few that's made my jawbone fell. ^^
    Fantastic!

  6. Thanks Alex :) Harvest time means LOTS of fruits and veggies to draw- plus they stand still (unlike certain family members LOL).
