P is for Pepper

I have a pepper plant in an AeroGarden that is now 18 months old. It's practically a mini-tree producing untold numbers of inch-long spicy hot peppers. If I don't pick them when they're fresh, they'll just dry on the branch (which makes them better for adding a little heat to a stir fry.) I like the way this one caught the light, making it glow a bit and exposing the seeds and the seam.

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.
