DAY 246 of NONNIE'S PHOTO A DAY: Nature's Beauty- Eggplants


beauty in nature-
eggplant, and called aubergine
by our British friends


Photo taken on grandaughter and husband's farm-


On Wikipedia, it said that the eggplant is related 
to the tomato and potato.  
Hmm… it looks like a squash… 
it's also known as guinea squash.

I really like the deep-purple-ish color of this vegetable-fruit. We call the plant as well as the color 'aubergine' - I love your haiku! Have a great weekend, hug from the Netherlands!
Nonnie said…
Gillena, thanks for the added info.

Marit, its color drew me to photograph it, thanks for your comment. Sending a hug back to you from America!

Beautiful eggplant, beautiful haiku!

I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping.

That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
