Vegetable matter

If you looked carefully at the carrot photo on Friday you may have noticed that I wasn't just creating a giant vegetable from my imagination - I had a life model. 

Here it is later on, relaxing after the session.

It turned out to be a very versatile vegetable.  At lunchtime today it made the ultimate sacrifice and joined some celery and a butternut squash in an excellent soup.

The soup kept some of us going on a Five Rivers hike this afternoon.
