Resplendent food: A glimpse into fruits and vegetables, just so.
Posted on Mar 30 in Food Porn, fruit, vegetableby NikaPrint
The wisdom of natural processes fascinates me endlessly.
The Fibonacci numbers that seem to sprinkle their way across cauliflower florets and seashells and flower petals is a constant reminder that the universe has decided on a few rules.
Its all a daily symphony of balance, void, entropy, chaos, and re-balance.
Each fruit, flower, vegetable, animal, all of that morphology is a physical manifestation of the tug and pull of existence and non-existence, heat and cold, light and dark, growth and decay, birth and death, kinetics and potential, motion and stillness.
Please enjoy these very few shots that begin to examine some of those ideas.
I am still without Photoshop so you will see imperfections that are not what I would like to see (not on the fruits or vegetables, thats fine.. its more of the cat hairs that I have issues with!).

Wow. I love carrots, I adore pears and philosophy is an interest almost as big to me as food, so how could I not love this post. Your ruminations remind me of Pascal who’s ideas about our place in the universe as both infinitely small and infinitely huge are mind boggling. He wrote:
For after all what is man in nature? A nothing in relation to infinity, all in relation to nothing, a central point between nothing and all and infinitely far from understanding either. The ends of things and their beginnings are impregnably concealed from him in an impenetrable secret. He is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness out of which he was drawn and the infinite in which he is engulfed. (Pensées 72)
I hope I’m not being too pedantic, but those carrots and pears, they appeared here as such amazing examples of the secret life of plants, the astounding part of how our world works that I couldn’t help myself.
Excellent! I happen to like the cat hairs though… hmm, could that be because I have 3 cats? Maybe.
he nika, nice shots !! the 3rd pic reminds me of some kind of fresh turmeric..ahaha, until I paged down, its not hehe
btw, thx for linking me, have added u too, cheers ! 
As always, beautiful photographs… and ideal to which we can all aspire (Though if I could take pictures like that I probably could quit my day job!)
Cat hairs? I was so mesmerized by these photos I had to look three times to find one. Brilliant work. I’m so glad I found this blog.
Helen: I am so glad you stopped by. I must have missed your comment before!
Deborah: Aww, thank you ma’am.
Shirley: My pleasure to link to you. Fresh turmeric, wow, I have no idea what that looks like but now I need to google it! Something about turmeric, like cinnamon and cumin, is addictive to me.
Jane: LOL, we have 5 cats so cat hairs seem to be a part of everything around here!
Mary: Wow, I love what you wrote! My training was in the biological sciences so I do not have a grounding in philosophy (other than my readings on existentialism) but your quote makes me want to learn more! We definitely agree and I am so glad that these photos speak to you the way they did to me.
