August 8, 2012 --- black and orange

I couldn't resist displaying this beautiful orange pepper some way. Best way seemed to be to jam it onto the top of a black vase.

So then I was into black and orange, so I went looking for another black vase (turned out to be a gin bottle), which I filled with black peppers and some black-eyed Susans. This made me notice how black the centers of black-eyed Susans really are.
