Inspired by vegetables!

I was simply strolling through the produce aisle the other day, gathering my tomatoes and zucchini for dinner, when shazam! -- I encountered the most breathtaking artichokes I'd ever seen.

Their silvery petals bent uniformly inward, like a delicate flower (which I guess they are!). Completely spherical, these were. Unique little orbs of goodness. I had to have them--not so much as a tasty appetizer--but for a photographic study.

Once I had these little beauties home on my kitchen counter, I gathered up all their little fruit and veggie compatriots and we went into the studio. My mother even contributed lemons and pineapple for contrast. Am I making you hungry yet?
