Eating the Rainbow

Every Saturday morning, I peruse the local fare that is strewn about along the bluff here in St. Joe. This weekend's find was carrots. Their unusual coloring caught my attention and I snatched them out of the bin the minute I saw them. I raced home and snapped these photos of the crunchy characters in all their crooked glory. I immediately sliced them into a carrot salad, mixed with cucumber slices and balsamic dressing, and their flavor was as punchy as their hue. I must continue to eat the local rainbow as long as it is around because winter's grey umbrella is looming.
