Today has been the first day of my half term holiday and I’ve found it very hard to get motivated. The dreary weather didn’t help matters so I decided to use these tomatoes as my photo subject before I cooked them this evening – at least they’ve injected a little colour into my day!

So, you're totally tomato? Well, I'm completely bananas. At least we're not Dan Quayle / George Bush and can spell them. Very nice macro. Lovely colours revenant · 2011-02-21: 13:03

Beautiful shot Helen. I just had to have a taco with no tomatoes because we were out of them and didn't want to run to the store. Sure wish I had one of these beauties. liveandletlive · 2011-02-21: 19:27
