I have determined that fruits and vegetable gathering aside, the next best thing about growing a garden are the numerous photographic opportunities that would otherwise never have been available. Over the past three summers, numerous posts of insects, spiders, caterpillars, and various plants have surfaced on this blog, mostly as a result of my enjoyment of tomatoes and peppers and squash. Seen here is the veinous underside of a zucchini leaf, backlit by a bright afternoon sun.
