Next shot - your season in close up


Petroselinum crispum





There are many, many close ups in my files from which to choose - this was the first I came across, chosen because it feels nice just to look at, restful, healing to tired eyes and I breathe deeper just at the sight of all that green. It also conserves time and energy searching through my disorganised photo files for a photo to present. I just think it beautiful to look at, as well as soothing to the eyes, when so close to a good crop of parsely. The approaching autumn is noticable by the seeding and flowering stages of the summer herbs and other flora and this parsely represents the change from summer to autumn that is happening now!
