It’s been a long time since I participated in the Thursday Challenge Photo project but when I got the email that this week’s theme was fruit, I knew I had the perfect photo.
Behold – the fruit platter I made at the request of my friend Anne for Tom’s 50th birthday party last weekend. I readily agreed when she asked me to do this even though I loathe cutting up fruit. I’d do anything to help a friend, even cut up lots and lots of fresh fruit. It was all worth it when I brought it to her, too, and she smiled and said to me, “I knew I gave you the right assignment. This is beautiful.”
And I got a blog post out of it, too.
Winning.
Geri Said,
How yummy and tempting!
Beth Said,
Beautiful! The toothpicks in the lemon is really clever.
Kathy Said,
Plus, you had something healthy to snack on!
Kate Said,
Pretty except for the deadly (to me) kiwi.
mary Said,
pretty to look at and yummy to eat!
Jo-Ann Said,
The blackberries were so delicious, and the platter was gorgeous!
But then, no one expected anything different – you are the best at whatever you choose to do
Kym Said,
YUM! (And that’s all I have to say about that.)
margene Said,
Beautiful and yummy! I could lick that platter clean!
Donna Said,
So appetizing! I like what you did with the pineapple.
Robby Said,
I love food pictures that were arranged by good photographers! The ‘photographer eye’ always seems to know what the ‘foodie eye’ wants and in what order. Just gorgeous.
gale (she shoots sheep shots) Said,
Your photos have come a long way! This one is literally mouth-watering.
Vicki Said,
HUNGRY FOR ALL THAT FRUIT NOW!! Gorgeous.
jill Said,
My favorite thing is fruit. I love how you used fruit for your bowls/containers. Ditto what Robby said above.
Manise Said,
Great presentation and the use of hollowed out fruit for containers and holders. So who ate the pineapple?
Jo Said,
It was fun to read the comments today because they made me look beyond the beautiful whole and appreciate the details. Embiggening this photo was well worth it. So creative, Carole!
Cheryl S. Said,
Wow! Beautiful!
But where are the pineapple innards?
Patty Said,
I love the use of the hollowed out fruit as well! So creative Carole! Can’t wait to see what you’ve got in mind for Super Bowl Sunday!
Minoesjka Said,
Mmmmmm ……. tasty fruit …….. I like to take some
Jeanne E Said,
Your fruit tray and arrangement is beautifully done! The

Gillian Said,
Beautiful!
Seanna Lea Said,
I could eat all of the fruit on that platter right now, and I’m not even hungry. It just looks so good!
