Morning Eye Candy: Nature’s Petit Fours

Posted in Around the Garden, Photography on June 16 2012, by Matt Newman

Sometimes I’ll come across something that looks like a sorbet, a baked tart, or a platter of colorful petit fours, knowing full well that nature usually does a better job of making things look “good enough to eat” than the local confectioner. Not that the poison control hotline would humor me if I acted on all of these novel compulsions, but, hey, it’s just a thought.
