Macro Monday - Mumpalooza!


Our neighborhood fruit and vegetable market has a great display of mums--all shapes, colors, and varieties--for the first of the fall season.  It was hard to choose a favorite so will show you some of the best of each color family.

I said no favorite, but this coral pink may be it:


Their white was the classic cream with butter colored centers:


The oranges ranged from orange-yellow blends to pure mid-orange and pale shades:


The yellow option was bright without any other shading:


The pinks ranged from a pale "cupcake" pink to bright yellow-centered to classic mum form in shimmering rose:

If you're in a rut with the mums you choose each fall, a visit to Paul's Fruit and Vegetable Market may change your mind this season! 

For more closeups from all over, or to enter your own macros, be sure to check out Lisa's Chaos here every Monday.
