Coriander Seeds - Soaking in the sun

A typical Indian family utilizes summer heat to safeguard their yearly stock of pulses & masalas. My family being one of them. I decided to capture those moments through my lens. The picture of coriander seeds didn’t seem very interesting earlier. However, on taking a closer look, I realized that these grains are indeed very beautiful. The colour & size of the grains seem almost identical. Thought it was worth capturing and sharing it.

Garlic Pods

Garlic has always been my favorite among the onion family (for those who don’t know it belongs to the onion family – Alliaceae). I decided to capture a cluster of garlic pods soaking in the afternoon sun. The way the garlic cloves are placed next to each other in this picture to form a perfect symmetrical bulb is amazing. Check out the colour of the skin, it shines like a pearl in the sun. Will try and catch some more close-ups next time.

Chillies

I never thougth the colour of red chillies would be so wonderful which photographed. Check out the wrinkled chilles..they look much more perfect then the glazed ones. Too bad that the shadow of grills have subdued the colour. Really love the way god has created things...
