Mint : Vegetable Photo Series

jylan — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 21:24:22 +0000

The sixth and last photo in the vegetable series contains some nice, refreshing mint leaves. Mint is an aromatic herb almost exclusively used for flavouring. It tastes very fresh and clean, a lot like artificial mints. More information can be found on the Wikipedia mint article. By the way, I think that the mint below is the garden type. There are actually about 25 species and many more varieties of mint. Of course, more can be found on the Wikipedia article.

The fourth photo in the vegetable series has the subject of one lone scallion. You can find out more by going to the article on scallions at Wikipedia. In case you’re wondering, yes Australians do call this plant the shallot but its proper name is a scallion.

By the way, when you go to the shallot image on Contrasting Sharply you might notice that instead of the thick border around the image, you’ll now find a thinner one with some padding. Likewise on the home page, I’ve got rid of the intro text and big clunky borders. Go and have a look!

I won the Photo Friday Oddity theme!

I am so excited because I’ve just discovered that a picture on my photoblog called Water Cocoon has been voted top of the list for the Photo Friday oddity theme. If you don’t believe me, head over to the Photo Friday archive for the Oddity winners.

For those who don’t know anything about Photo Friday, it is a weekly photo meme that announces a theme every week. People then enter photographs that they have taken. Over the weekend that the next weeks theme has been announced, people vote for who they think should win for last weeks theme. And I won. Below is the photo that won it.

Thanks everyone for voting for me
