When I saw it in the voting booth I yelled, "Tomatillos." Now, I don't know if they really are or not because I've only seen the green ones, but you've made me very hungry for Pasole !!!

Great fall colors. Are those Japanese lanterns? I never would have thought to snap a scene like this with a wide angle lens. Must be a big plate, huh? lol
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I will join Ron (Tick) in saying that I am nuts and I like this image VERY but VERY much !!!
And the plate is sooooooooo special ...
Another masterpiece, dear friend !
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Hi Paul....I had not seen this shot before, but it is truly lovely. I love the colours of those Japanese Lanterns. I used to have some, but now can't seem to find any seed for them around here. They are so lovely, thank you dear. Verena
