ReplyDeleteI learn something new every day! Thanks :)
Oh sweet thinking:)
ReplyDeleteNot tomato, not Italy tho.
A similar thing can happen in similitude for our earlier blooming tulips? Made a wish:)
Yes, it is a "Ruby Tuesday"
ReplyDeleteGrazie~
Eleonora, did you made a wish? Public or private?
ReplyDeleteVery cool images, I thought that the primizia rule was for fruit only. Oh... I know, technically tomatoes are fruit!
ReplyDeletewish I had those tomatoes for sauce instead of what I am about to eat
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these photos, especially the first one. I think I'll steal, um, I mean save a copy!
ReplyDeleteI love that! I love that you remind me of so many things I've forgotten. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLovely red tomatoes. Great shot. While riding the train, I met a very nice Italian lady who didn't speak English. She came and sat in our car. We communicated mainly with hand signals (and my very limited knowledge of Italian). When the train reached her destination, before she got off, she reached into her bag and pulled out a nice big, juicy-looking tomato and gave it to me. So nice! It was a long time ago, but your photos brought back that memory.

My wish would be to be in Rome soon. LOVE the black bowl for contrast to the red. Makes me want to run out and get one.
ReplyDeleteI love these photos, especially the first one.
ReplyDeleteBut, it's no surprise that lovely photos are offered by a hot tomato?
I would make my wish to have some of those early tomatoes in Italy.
ReplyDeleteNice simple composition in the first image. I can't eat tomatos by themselves, but I like them IN everything!
