So, to be honest, I'm not actually thrilled about this photo. Unfortunately, it was a bad photographer day, and nothing that I took turned out even halfway decently, so I ended up using the best of a bad lot in my mind. But that's how we learn, right? And learning is what doing these challenges is about.

Thus I present...part of my dinner!

(By the way, it ended up TASTING a lot better than it photographed. Fresh asparagus lightly sauteed in olive oil with salt, pepper, and dill, then tossed in a bit of balsamic vinegar. It served as a side dish to some lovely fish and a bit of pasta with alfredo sauce.)

I also took it in color, so you can see it in my regular PAD gallery with all of it's bright green freshness visible.
