Monumental kale chard



What was I thinking?
Of course this wasn't kale, it was chard.

Thanks to my free-floating editors Dave and Laura for helping me fix what posting before coffee wrought!

Just a note to say that I continue to enjoy your drawings and photos both. This one is particularly stunning, Lori.

Honey, is that chard? I've got a bunch of that stuff to make a delicious casserole, a gratin with chard, pine nuts, feta, a few olives and a few golden raisins (not sure if there are raisins in the recipe.) I thought kale was all green, but I could be wrong, though I never have been before, of course.

You sure that ain't swiss chard?

I don't care about the caption... (And I'm mostly a meat and carbs kinda girl, myself.) I'm just glad you haven't forsaken your camera for your pencils!
Lovely.

Beautiful chard! I grow red chard just for the backlit glow (my partner hates to eat vegetables he personally knows, which kind of limits my pragmatic approach).

The light runing through the veins, it looks like life!

This photo moves me Lori right in the pit of my stomac,
it speaks
Contrast colors contrast values contrast hard and soft lines it has everything

What's this? No little chard-chewing worm, no suffering holes, no raggy edges? But the world is broken! Isn't it?
