Decidely I love this plate!

In the first plate is a radish grown (poussé) in my garden, that I ate afterwards (ensuite).
In the second is some home-made liver paté with Cognac, which i also ate afterwards - delicious. I will have to put all my photos of this plate together (ensemble); I learnt today it's called typography photo when you do this. I googled and discovered someone who does this with photos of posts (poteaux). I'd have no problems doing that, I live just near vineyards where there are hundreds of posts - I'll have to try.

Here is one from my garden

Radishes and abstract art

I just couldn't resist this photo from the local supermarket, what vibrant colours!

I didn't buy any, I didn't notice the price and I didn't read where they came from. But I looked on Internet to find the nutritional value of a radish! No value you think? Well, read this:

Nutrition Facts and Information about Radish:

"Radish has excellent levels of copper, manganese and potassium. It is also a good source of calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorous, zinc and sodium.

Unbelievable, no?
That's all supposing they're organic and not polluted by chemicals and you don't eat them with bread and lots of butter.
Tomorrow I'm going back to the shop to buy some!

After going to the supermarket I drove round the town to take some photos and I was very excited because I found my first rusty skip ( benne rouillée). :)) Explanations are needed here.
On the redbubble site the photos I prefer are in the group Abstract Urban Art (lien en bas de page): I like abstract art and these brilliant photos are often of rust and paint marks on skips. I finally found one today, a blue one. I took a lot of photos, here is one of my favourites

I didn't find a title, can you suggest one?
