Fresh Pineapples
	Last summer, I bought three fresh pineapples and, as always, before they could be eaten, I just had to photograph them! (I spend way too much time in the grocery store admiring colours and shapes and textures when buying fruits and vegetables these days.) These were shot outside, on a beautiful summer day.

Pineapple Skin
	This pineapple is of the same group of three as above. I wanted to get as close as possible to the fantastic colours and textures of the skin! Don't they look like like a group of green peppers squashed together?

Pink Tulips
	These pink tulips were fresh - in the middle of winter. There's nothing like a bouquet of fresh flowers in the middle of winter to remind you that spring *will* come. I photographed them in the kitchen (for the overhead lighting) using fabric as the backdrop.

Begonia
	Flowers fascinate me. The wonderfully amazing lines, incredible colours and intricate shapes are magical. I love to photograph them but I love to paint them even more. So many artists I talk to have no interest in florals of any kind but I find them fascinating.
