Janet Brien's photos with the keyword: bell pepper

Six is such a fun number! There are countless flowers with six petals, over a million insect species, and endless groupings of six. But I wanted something different, so I looked in my archives and remembered some pictures I took of a bell pepper. It turns out that my favorite image featured six bell pepper seeds! You can see why I remembered this picture: did you know that these seeds have a lovely texture which resembles a fingerprint?! I had no idea they were so pretty and interesting to look at! There are five others doing this project with me, and if you'd like to jump in, we'd love to have you! You can catch up when you can! :) 1-10 Project Buddies Chrissy Valfal (Valerie) Jenny McIntyre Rachel Lynne Explored on September 3, 2014. Highest placement, #6.

I had a lot of fun slicing a bell pepper in half and taking pictures! They are really gorgeous and interesting at a macro level! I also learned a lot. Most especially, I needed a deeper depth of field to get the pictures I was hoping for, so I'll retake them at a later date. I did get some nice pictures though, and I especially liked the way this one looks, like some strange orange cave with a stalactite forming! By the way, do you know the easy way to tell which is the right word: stalagmite or stalactite? I found a super page on wiki to explain! Wikihow.com: Tell the Difference-Between Stalagmites and Stalactites Use the term stalagmite when you are referring to the calcite deposits that build up from the floor. Think of ground, which starts with "g", which is also in stalagmite, to help you remember. Use the term stalactite when your are referring to the calcite deposits that build down from the roof of the cave. Think icicles, or ceiling, words which also have the letter "c" in them, to help you remember.
