A Smal Tree in Our House


I was cutting up some cauliflower to eat as a snack, with, get this, cocktail sauce - you know, horseradish and ketchup!  I know, sounds weird.  But it tasted delicious, and we call it "poor man's shrimp cocktail."  Anyhow, I was cutting up these little florets, and some of the larger ones I cut in half to make them more bite-sized.  I happened to look down at this one and realized that it looked like a tree!  So I set up a little studio on the dining room table and got two pieces of black mat board to use as a background, and a small 150 watt spotlight and moved the light around until I got this!  So interesting how nature has these forms and sometimes giant objects are mimicked by tiny objects!
