The carrots were getting resentful that I was spending so much time taking pictures of the tomatoes. So I had to take their picture too. Sorry they were acting so silly. The one in the center even refused to stand up.

Funny! Interesting appendages!

Almost human like in quality these carrots... there is the sense of two adult carrots in the background seemingly dancing trying to keep their youngster amused. I love carrots as a vegetable but that love brought me face to face with the worse thing I'd ever tasted in my life; namely, carrot juice. I saw my sister-in-law drinking a glass one day when I was a young fellow and I asked her for a glass... one drink and I thought I would die... carrots are great but the juice is completely vile.

Good to see a healthy sense of humor on an often too serious site !

The one on the left seems .... otherworldly ...
have you noticed any strange lights in the sky ?
Any saucer-shaped objects ???

Wise not to ignore the carrots, you never know what mischief they are capable of.

Another goody. Great use of light. I didn't know carrots could grow like that.

So, Linda, are you growing your carrots in an electromagnetic field? In any event you have produced some charming and colorful characters, mutant though they may be!


Comments by John Long on Mon, 10/06/08 17:07

GREAT FUN - thanks for the laugh Linda!

hey, I thought this was a non-nude site!!!

Poor things, have they been grown on melamine? Or is this a GMO experiment in your backyard, :-)? Fun to look at anyway, I like the light on the leggy one on the rhs.

Is it just me
or does anyone else see a great series, (or two) coming ?

One perfectly straight and "artsy".

The other with tomato heads on carrot bodies being silly. ;-)

(thought bubble...
"Honey, those crazy carrots are doing the chicken dance again...")

If your garden allows it, please keep them coming. Wonderful set of photos.

I'd love to know about the light in both photos.

Great shot. I had no idea carrots could look like that. I am reminded of the line in a poem by Donne: "get with child a mandrake root."


Comments by Rory Hudson on Tue, 10/07/08 05:09

I can relate to those carrots. The one sitting down and relaxing as well as the ones clowning around. I wouldn't have the heart to eat them now.


Comments by luis pereira on Tue, 10/07/08 06:48

This is great. Not only extremely interesting, it's a well taken photograph. Now the question...What kind of plutonium you use in your garden? Keep the pets away from there.


Comments by Linda Frey on Tue, 10/07/08 13:23

Karen, this was shot in my kitchen. There's a window to the right side, no direct sunlight coming in, and I stood between the window and the subject to prevent glare. So I asked the carrots to hold really still while I was shooting. At least they did that well.

"I didn't know carrots could grow like that."

Ross you want to get out the city!

Nice going, looks like you have a stoney patch.


Comments by Julie M. Dant on Tue, 10/07/08 14:12

I see you gave the little family a thoroughly good scrubbing. The mother on the left looks to be admonishing the father on the right just because he is trying to sneak out of the picture! Their little toddler, Carrot Top, was just getting ready to crawl off after his daddy. Well captured family moment, Linda! ;0)
Hey...ya got a family of potatos in the wings? Your backdrop and lighting are great for these shots..I want some more, although I can't imagine any veggie that could top your Carrot family. '0)

Never saw 'human-like' carrots before, thanks for sharing Linda.
They look very .........orange :-)

groetjes,
Monique
