i have never thought of an onion being beautiful, being too busy cutting it up for something, but yours is and with such a distinct personality. i shall look more carefully in the future. thanks for the lesson. gfs

Onions have been a favorite subject of mine. It's amazing how much color and texture you manage to bring to your onions.And keep them simple yet so very interesting. Lovely.

Methinks your eyes are your gift. You are The Honest Observer. This onion is so real I feel that I could pluck it off the screen and toss it back across the pond to you. Here, catch!

Wow. Nice one, Julian. All those recent scrubbed pictures paying off. Very impressed by your use of white in this.

Even the lowly onion raises to new heights with you as the beholder! You continue to amaze me with your beautiful still lifes of fruits and veggies. Thank you for sharing your daily treasures with me.
