Sizzling hot

These chili peppers--which are growing upstairs in an AeroGarden in my "Mom cave"--are sizzling hot. Put two of them in a pot of chili or a stir fry, and it'll have a nice bite. A few more and you're at the "five star, no refund" level. BTW this is the first finished photo take with my new D-SLR. As someone suggested, I'm spending time learning one feature at a time. This was the Macro mode.

  1. I love that you have an AeroGarden! Nice shot - I haven't spent much time with my Macro mode, but I will check it out.

  8. Love the blog, I had started my own 365 photo challenge about 10 days ago and had started looking for a community where I could stay motivated while giving and getting feed back. I love the chilli pepper shot, colors are fantastic and they look hot

  9. Lois--I am working on my third year. It's a lot of work, requires sustained effort, but it's worth it. I'm not sure I can take a fourth. I need a different project for 2012.

  10. Love the greens and reds, as well as the shallow DoF. My wife made a meal in which she misread the chipotle chili requirements. It called for 2 canned and she put in two cans. What's 32 chili's among family?

  11. A lovely first posted shot from the new camera. I think you will love the low light possibilities as the sun slips away.
