A picture taken at my granparent's garden. These are a series of corn stalk lined up. They have been farming and growing crops since they were young.

Fresh hand-picked tomatoes of different colors, sizes, and shapes! Not to mention, I hand-picked these as well. They give a soothing color of red, orange, and yellow.

A pray mantis! My family and I decided to put him by this plant (don't know what it is). Everything but the white flower is green, perfect for the Spot technique.

Probably one of the most interesting plant and photo I have ever taken. I don't know what it is, but it was at the garden. I love the bright red color of the plant and it dies off into a different shade. (Red Plant + Green Background = good color?)
